In sintesi

The winds have redistributed the recent storm snow into windslabs well down into the terrain. Luckliy treeline and below has better skiing.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1.5–3

    Continued strong westerly winds in the alpine and exposed treeline have redistributed the snow well down into the terrain. 

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–3

    Use caution around thin to thick areas where buried deeper weak layers could be triggered.

  • Loose Dry

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

    Ice climbers be wary of this problem as even small avalanches can quickly gain volume and have serious consequences. The storm slow remains loose and unconsolidated. Watch for triggers that would wake this up such as rising temperatures and wind.

Snowpack Summary

January 13th brought upwards of 55cm of new snow in the region. It has settled to 20-30cm with mild temperatures with continued wind slab development. The alpine has had continued strong winds promoting wind effect, wind slab formation and cornice growth. The mid pack is supportive. Near the ground it is weak facets and depth hoar.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed since Wednesday. Wednesday's explosive control action had surprisingly little results. During and after Tuesday-Wednesdays' storm, a significant natural cycle up to size 3.5 was noted occurring mostly in the Alpine open features South through Westerly aspects.
