The avalanche danger is low. Only in some places in high altitudes an extremely steep and shady gullies and bowls small slab avalanches are possible. In case of triggered avalanches risk of injuries is more likely than risk of being buried.
Snowpack
The snow cover is unusual thin for this season and southern slopes as well as exposed areas are predominatly bare or icy. An area-wide, coesive snow base is only existing in blown-in gullies and bowls and shady high-altitude slopes. That snow cover is charactized by equilibrium (isothermal) metamorphosis. It is succession of soft layers on the surfacs, partially powder snow, and faceted snow crystals with melt-freeze crusts.
Tendency
The avalanche danger stays small.

Avalanche danger is in general low. Only a few but hard to spot danger spots in high altitudes (persistent weak layers).
The avalanche danger is in general low. Persistent weak layers above 1.800 m. Danger spots are usually in shady northwesterly to easterly expositions, especially in entries extremely steep gullies and bowls. Here slab avalanches can triggered by high additional loads. These avalanches are predominantly small but can reach medium sizes.
Snowpack
Due to mild sunny weather the snow cover got soft in sunny high-altitude slopes. On shady slopes faceted snow layers between melt crusts are weakening the snow base. The snowcover is unusually thin for the season. Only in blown-in gullies and bowls compact snow covers with higher amounts of snow are found.
