Avalanche Problems
• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between unknown masl and unknown masl • Poor bonding of new snow to refrozen old surface layer. Fracture propagation was easily observed at 700 metres on unsupported slopes a westerly aspect on steeper angles. This new snow has set up as a cohesive slab of 1F hardness.
