In sintesi

The chance of triggering a large avalanche at higher elevations is decreasing, but the consequences of triggering one is large. Its still not a good time to go into bigger terrain. A pulse of strong wind and snow Sunday may elevate the hazard. SH

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–2
    Thin windslabs formed from previous strong winds can be triggered in steep open areas. In some cases this may provide enough load to step down to the deeper basal layers to cause larger avalanches.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione
    2–3
    Light loads can still cause slides on the basal depth hoar/October rain crust. Trigger points are thin areas in steeper terrain, where fractures can spread to thicker areas. Deeper snow packs with even distribution will be less prone to triggering.
