In sintesi

It’s a great time to head into the mountains.

Loose wet avalanches are most likely on steep, sun-affected slopes once the surface snow warms, becomes wet, and loses cohesion.

    Wet loose avalanches are possible in steep or extreme terrain when the snow surface is wet. Steep slopes with rocky outcrops are likely trigger points as they amplify warming.

Confidence

High

  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.
  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported since Saturday.

Snowpack Summary

A surface crust may exist early in the morning, but we expect it to break down quickly with sunshine and warm temperatures. The snow below is likely wet.

The remainder of the snowpack is strong and settled.

At lower elevations, the snowpack is quickly disappearing or isothermal.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.
