In some locations the recent snow is propagating and peeling off the March 21st crust with the additional loading (see Avalanche Summary above).</span></p><p class="p_384D933F"><span class="s_AA239A9B"> </span></p><p class="p_384D933F"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Below 1600m (or on slopes facing the sun) the snow surface typically becomes moist in the afternoon with daytime heating / solar input.
