In sintesi

Cornices may be difficult to identify from the top of a ridge, so it's best to keep a safe distance when traveling along ridgelines. Learn more about spring snowpack conditions here.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Cornices

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione
    1.5–2.5

    Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported on Monday.

Evidence of past avalanches, like this one observed Saturday on Sky Pilot, may still be visible in the region.

NOTE: Recent observations are currently very limited in this region.

Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.

Snowpack Summary

A typical spring diurnal cycle is underway.

High freezing levels have formed a surface crust everywhere.

The snowpack is generally well-settled and strong.

Lower elevations are melting out rapidly.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid travelling on slopes below cornices.
  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
