Snowpack Discussion
New snow will overlie a variety of surfaces including; a crust on steep south facing slopes in the alpine, a crust with surface hoar above it at treeline and a crust where snow exists below treeline. The above mentioned surface hoar could become a problem in the near future with subsequent storms.
Below the surface is 10 to 20 cm of faceted snow over a crust from mid November.
Above about 1600 m, snowpack height ranges from 50 to 100 cm, increasing with elevation.
Avalanche Activity
No avalanches have been reported since last week.
Avalanche activity will begin ramping up with the arrival of the incoming storms.
