This is an English summary of the current avalanche forecast. It contains information about the avalanche danger rating, a description of the current avalanche problems combined with recommendations for terrain travel and risk management.
4. High
Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended.
More information about the current conditions can be found in the avalanche problem section below.
Can avalanches be triggered? In how many places?
You can trigger avalanches on some steep slopes, typically in specific terrain features with favorable characteristics for avalanching given the conditions. Avalanches that release spontaneously cannot be completely ruled out.
How large and destructive can avalanches become?
Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car and have the force to break trees or destroy a small building (size 3). When people are caught by avalanches of this size, the probability for severe consequences is very high.
