Challenging traveling conditions exist at treeline and below.
Pockets of wind-affected snow may be found at uppermost elevations.
Small pockets of isolated wind slabs may exist on lee terrain features at upper elevations. Avalanches may be particularly dangerous due to obstacles that are exposed or just below the surface.
No recent avalanches have been reported. Recent wet snow and rain may have caused wet loose avalanches in steep terrain, but field observations are limited.
Up to 15-25 cm of moist snow may be found at uppermost elevations. This recent snow is settling rapidly and bonding well to the warm and moist snow beneath. The snowpack below 1500 m has been soaked with rain or diminishing rapidly. Total snow depths at ski hills and remote stations are 50 to 70 cm, with closer to 100 cm possible at treeline. Many areas are below the threshold depth for avalanches.
