Avalanche danger is low. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be problematic. Slab avalanches can be triggered in particular by large additional loading in transitions from shallow to deeper snow. Avalanche prone locations occur particularly in extremely steep shady terrain at high altitudes, releases mostly small.
The snowpack is largely stable. On sunny slopes a melt-freeze crust forms at night, then softens during the daytime at intermediate altitudes, remains hard at high altitudes. On shady slopes the snow on the surface is loose, often faceted. Wherever the snow has been transported, shallow trigger-sensitive snowdrifts have accumulated. Inside the snowpack at high altitudes there are faceted crystals near melt-freeze crusts, triggerable only in isolated cases. The fundament is often moist.
Avalanche danger levels not expected to change significantly.
