In sintesi

Although it may seem like spring is here, the winter snowpack has not yet gone through a serious melt freeze. Large avalanches and close calls have been reported all week. See photo of West Bowl from today. It is still time to place safe!

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–2
    The storm snow from the last few days has been blown into wind slabs and there are very large cornices. These slabs can be easily triggered and may result in an avalanche stepping down to deeper weaknesses.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione
    2–4
    The Valentines surface hoar layer and the weak basal depth hoar have both been sliding layers for large avalanches over the last three days. Steep unsupported slopes, thin rocky areas and steep solar aspects are the most likely areas to trigger.
