Avalanche Activity
• 18. May. 18-24 (+02:00) • Wet slab avalanche • 3 - Large. Spontaneous release • NE. Above 1500 masl • Likely the cornice collapse has triggered a large wet slab on the slope beneath. This slope regularly will fail under winter conditions. I was surprised to see the old weak layer from March appears to be the one that has failed under a large trigger. See picture. Certainly very different from all the glide slab avalanches seen close by and across the forecast region.
