Confidence

High

  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.

Avalanche Summary

Several natural and human-triggered wet loose avalanches were reported in the last few days. The wet avalanche problem should be over due to low freezing levels and cooler temperatures.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 5 cm of new snow overlies a widespread surface crust formed during recent warm, sunny conditions. Dry snow is now limited to north aspects in the alpine between 2000 and 2500 m and above.

Below the surface crust, the snowpack is generally well consolidated. A widespread mid-March melt-freeze crust is buried 10 to 80 cm deep, varying with aspect and elevation.

The lower snowpack remains strong and well-bonded.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with aspect and elevation.
  • Cornices often break further back than expected; give them a wide berth when traveling on ridgetops.
