Travel Advice
- Cornice failures could trigger large and destructive avalanches.
Wind slabs persist in the alpine. On solar aspects, a surface crust has formed, which is more pronounced at lower elevations. On polar aspects, 20–50 cm of snow overlies the March 20 rain crust, which exists below 2100–2300 m. Cornice growth continues.The Jan 24th facet layer is buried 70–180 cm deep at treeline and in the alpine, with some tests still producing hard, sudden results
No new avalanches observed or reported on Wednesday.
