In sintesi

The cornice building conditions have been excellent recently and cornice anchoring sites on ridgetops (with lots of wind-exposed dark rocks!) are now getting strong solar radiation.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Persistent Slabs

    The buried surface hoar layer is a concern in areas that have not avalanched already. Solar effect is a likely trigger in the afternoon directly on solar terrain or indirectly by causing cornice failure onto shaded lee slopes.
  • Storm Slabs

    Primarily southwest moderate alpine winds continue to form slabs and large cornices on lee aspects, but previous variable winds have also reverse loaded some features. Smaller windslab avalanches may step down to deeper instabilities.
  • Loose Wet

    Surface snow is responding to strong solar radiation that happens in March/April. Ice climbers should also be wary of large pillows of snow still above routes on solar aspects. Even thick surface crusts will break down with sustained solar energy.
