Travel and Terrain Advice

Avalanche conditions are high in certain terrain. Look for the trail of a the new avalanche as you climb. Also, look through the traces of winds that blew in the past to see where the wind slabs are forming. It is a good option to start the day on a small slope while checking the condition, avoiding large convexities, isolated terrain, or unsupported areas that the slab is likely to form. If several groups are in similar places, pay attention to the relationship between each other's location and the terrain. Acting in line with the basics of risk management, such as not allowing a large number of people to enter the avalanche terrain and minimizing the time spent in the avalanche terrain, will reduce accidents. Snow at low elevations due to radiative cooling cools down very well. Yesterday, the slightly damp surface layer has also been revived smoothly, so it is a day when it is not the best day to forcibly raise the elevation. Have a nice day

概要

Avalanche


Yesterday (21st), several avalanches of storm slabs of size 1-1.5 were observed and reported in the below treeline. In addition, there have been incidents of Level 2 (AvSAR council standards) where people are leaked.

Snowpack


The instability of the snow, which began to fall on the 20th and responded sensitively within that day, remained yesterday (21st), and even at the elevation of the forest zone, responded to human stimuli. Afterwards, at lower elevations, the sun also entered in the afternoon, and stabilization progressed in the affected places. But on the other hand, at high altitudes, the low density of snow on the 20th is the snow of this time of stormy weather, or even below the wind slab, so it is necessary to assess its condition carefully enough.

Weather


The Japan Meteorological Agency is forecasting northern Nagano prefecture's northern wind, sunny weather, and a maximum temperature of 1℃ (elevation 418m). At the foot of Mt. Hakuba (elevation 703m), the temperature is -16.4℃ (as of 5:00), and there is no new snowfall in the past 12 hours.
