Avalanche problems in the area

Snow layers and snow cover

Since Friday 15.11, snow showers and snowdrift in N and NW wind have caused snow to accumulate in gullies and other sheltered areas. The ground was mostly bare before Friday, with some old snowdrifts at high elevations. Overall, there is still rather little snow in avalanche release areas but a possibility for small wind slabs. Continued snow showers are forecasted over the next few days, but there is uncertainty about where exactly the most precipitation will land. With time, weak layers with facets may form due to cold temperatures.
