Travel and Terrain Advice

The mountain conditions are spring conditions. Slopes that were hard and frozen in the morning lose strength by noon due to rising temperatures and sunny slopes, causing wet loose snow avalanches. Wet snow is very heavy and easily scoots underfoot. Be on the lookout for slides on frozen slopes in the morning and wet snow avalanches from noon. On the large steep south-facing slopes, conditions are such that large scale loose snow avalanches can occur, so be vigilant above yourself. At lower elevations, snowmelt is also advancing from the bottom of the snowpack. Snow bridges are more likely to collapse, so please pay attention to areas where the snow has lost strength, even on the way down the mountain. The weather slowly worsening. Take adequate sun protection and have a good day.

概要

Avalanche


Yesterday (March 8), several wet loose snow avalanches were observed Below Treeline.

Snowpack


Yesterday, extremely high temperatures were recorded at 17.2°C (14:00) at AMeDAS Sekiyama. This, combined with strong solar radiation, resulted in loose snow avalanches below treeline. On the northern slopes at higher elevations, the snow is still dry.

Weather


The Japan Meteorological Agency is forecasting winds from the south, daytime, north winds, clear, nighttime, cloudy, and a maximum temperature of 19°C (13 m elevation) for the Joetsu region of Niigata Prefecture. At Myoko Sasagamine (elevation 1,310 m), the temperature is 0° (as of 5:45 a.m.).
