North and Northeast aspects above 3000 meters have a persistent deep slab risk.  Avalanches triggered will be large, destructive and contain the entire seasonal snowpack down to the ground.  As seen in last Thursday's incident in South Apherwat bowl, they are difficult to trigger and may occur on slopes already skied with numerous tracks.

New snow and strong Southerly winds.  Avalanche risk on all North to East aspects in the form of wind slab (alpine region).  Evidence of numerous large, destructive avalanches visible which released during past 24 hours.  Some appear to have performed to ground facets, and some appear to be repeat events; both suggesting the deep persistent weak layer is still present.  

New snow and strong Southerly winds.  Avalanche risk on all Northerly half aspects in the form of storm slab and wind slab (alpine region).

Steep North and Northeast aspects above 3000 m still have dangerous weakness.  Avoid areas which appear loaded and have not previously avalanched.  Continue to use safe travel techniques.  

Steep North and Northeasp aspects above 3000 m still have dangerous weakness.  Avoid areas which appear loaded and have not previously avalanched.  Continue to use safe-travel techniques.  

Steep North and Northeast aspects above 3000m. remain dangerous.  The weight of a single skier may trigger a large destructive avalanche.  Note that other aspects are improving.  See the full description for details.

Dangerous avalanche conditions above 3000m. Recent snowfall at this elevation is a dense layer supported by weak, faceted snow. North and North-east aspects are especially dangerous.  This problem will remain until a significant change occurs in the weather.

Steep alpine slopes are a gamble with a deep persistent weak layer.  The consequences of triggering an avalanche within this layer are large, destructive avalanches which may endanger not only you, your group but other groups below and rescuers.  Use conservative decisions selecting terrain and managing your group.  Stay aware of your surroundings including groups riding slopes above you.
