Danger by Elevation
Active Avalanche Problems
The avalanche risk is low. The previously soaked snowpack has stabilised somewhat in recent days due to the lower temperatures. The wet snow problem has therefore receded into the background, but cannot be completely ruled out on steep slopes that have not yet been discharged. With the current precipitation and strong winds, fresh drift snow packs are forming in places. These are mainly found in gullies and bowls as well as in areas adjacent to ridgelines. The drift snow packs are prone to triggering and can be triggered as small slab avalanches by a single person.
The previously wet snowpack is currently consolidating and stabilising somewhat due to the low temperatures. At high altitudes, a thin layer of fresh snow is forming in places, which is being transported by strong winds and forming small-scale drift snow packs.
