Mountain environments can be categorised as above or below the tree line, thus Alpine and Subalpine respectively. Find out more about how these types of terrain can create or mitigate backcountry hazards here.
Travel & Terrain advice:
This is just mock text: Be aware of navigational issues with low visibility, particularly in the alpine. Avalanche hazard – storm slab/wind slab - on lee slopes in alpine (SE aspect), avoid convexities and slopes over 25 degrees. Below treeline be aware of obstacles due to shallow snowpack. PH
Regional Community Observations:
Reports of fallen timber and bark debris at lower elevations on access routes significantly increasing travel times.
30cm of new snow overnight in alpine areas, with a dusting below treeline. Snow quality and cover good above treeline, but early season shallow snowpack with obstacles below treeline.
