In sintesi

Do not let the lack of avalanche activity fool you into thinking that the snowpack is good.  Human triggering is still a concern.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible - Likely
    Dimensione
    2–3
    These slabs are failing down 30-50cm at the main density change. Human triggering from a thin snowpack area is a definite possibility.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    2–3
    More likely to be triggered from thinner areas and step down to the November crust producing larger avalanches.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity was observed.

Snowpack Summary

Widespread wind effect in open areas in the Alpine down into tree line. Our main concern still remains human triggering on the persistent slab which sits on the Dec 18 facets(down approx 30-50cm). Our second concern are cross loaded gullies and lee features.  The November crust is still present in the lower third of the snow pack. Non-supportive facetted snow below tree line.
