Avalanche

Avalanche prone areas are at treeline and in convex terrain where the overlying slabs are soft and thin. Medium-size avalanche can be triggered. At lower elevations, rain will lead to natural wet avalanche activity. Wet slabs are also expected. Avoid terrain underneath cornices. Timing is important for good skiing. (NVE)

Locally unstable conditions. Windslabs may be resting on a weak layer of facets. These may be possible to trigger in a few locations where the overlying windslab is thin or soft. In the lowland small wet avalanches may release naturally. (NVE)
