Avalanche danger low. Only in some places in high, steep and shady gullies and bowls small avalanche can be triggered with high additional loads. The surface of the snow cover is often hard. Risk of injuries is more likely than risks of falling or being buried.
Snowpack
In general the snow amount is below the average. Southern slopes and exposed areas are predominately bare. The thin snow cover is solidified on the surface. Elsewhere it is wet. In places in northern and eastern exposed high-altitudes areas thin layers of snowdrift, which is weakened due to kinetic metamorphosis (faceting).
Tendency
On Sunday sunny mountain weather is called. No significant changes of the avalanche danger.

Gliding snow
The old snow is in higher altitudes partially still prone to triggering
Moderate avalanche danger above 2.000 m below that low danger. The main problem still a weak old snow cover underneath fresh snowdrift deposits. Danger spots are predominately in entries and peripheral areas of extremly steep gullies and bowls in the north western to northeastern expositions. There small to medium sized slab avalanches are possible. Spontaneous gliding snow avalanches com from steep slopes wit smooth surfaces are also possible. Avoid areas below gliding cracks.
Snowpack
During the night the surface of the snow can solidify, on sunny slopes surface hoar is forming in some places which softens during the course of the day. In shady areas the settled snow is mostly loose and soft. In highe northwestern to eastern sectors older, predominantly sufficient settled snowdrift areas are existing which are on top of an old snow cover which is weakened due to kinetic metamorphosis (faceting). This combination can be prone to triggering. In steep sunny slopes on smooth surfaces or grass the wet snowcover can start gliding. Exposed area are often icy and hard.
Tendency
The week starts under influence of a high pressure system, the avalanche danger is decreasing.
