In sintesi

Avalanche danger will rise with daytime warming and strong solar radiation.

Allow the new snow time to stabilize before committing to large, consequential terrain.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Storm Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible - Likely
    Dimensione
    1–2

    Recent snowfall has likely formed storm slabs at higher elevations, where deeper accumulations of new snow exist. Slabs may be particularly reactive in areas where they overlay a firm crust.

  • Loose Wet

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità

    Wet loose avalanche activity is likely on steep slopes exposed to direct sun.

Snowpack Summary

Recent snow at treeline and above has buried a mixture of moist snow surfaces and firm crusts. Lower elevations have seen a mix of rain and snow falling onto an already moist or isothermal snowpack.

A weak layer of facets above a hard crust may persist 50 to 70 cm deep. This layer hasn't produced avalanches in over a week.

Facets exist at the base of the snowpack in shallow areas.

Confidence

Low

  • We are uncertain about how the timing or intensity of solar radiation will affect the snowpack.
  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been reported since Monday, when warm temperatures and sun triggered wet loose avalanches.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Keep your guard up as storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Investigate the bond of the recent snow before committing to your line.
  • Limit exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
