In sintesi

Although avalanche conditions are slowly improving, caution is still advised in larger Alpine features. Numerous early season hazards remain a concern, but travel conditions have improved.

Problemi valanghivi

    Both hard and soft wind slabs are found in lee and cross-loaded features in the Alpine and at Treeline. Steep and unsupported features are the primary concern, and gully features should be evaluated carefully.
