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
Avalanche problem
Persistent slabs
Persistent weak layers can produce avalanches for days, weeks or even months, making them especially dangerous and tricky. Manage the risk by making conservative terrain choices. Can be triggered by light loads and slabs often propagate in surprising and unpredictable ways.
Although the avalanche problem might not obvious you could trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Heavier loads like groups of people, machines or cornice falls increase likelihood of triggering.
