The problem seems to be most pronounced in thin snowpack areas on solar aspects. Recently, large explosive loads have been required to trigger an avalanche on this layer. But a rapid rise in temperature such as the one we are currently experiencing can also be a sufficient shock to these types of layers. If they start to become sensitive this week, we could see some large natural and human triggered avalanches.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"9fcs3","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"ajhqd","text":"Shallow snowpack areas in the east of the region may harbor a facetted basal snowpack as described in this MIN report.
