Gulmarg Region
THE BOTTOM LINE
Recent storm snow has gained some strength. However, the alpine region (above 3000m) remains moderate risk. North to East ridgetop aspects pose a wind slab avalanche problem and triggered avalanches may be large/destructive. Afternoon sudden rise in temperature may weaken storm snow on all steep aspects and inrease the likelihood of a single rider triggering an avalanche.
