Few avalanche prone locations

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated weak layers persist in old snow. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in particular by large additional load at transitions from shallow to deep snow. The few avalanche prone locations are mostly found in extremely steep shady high altitude terrain. Dangers of falls and being swept along outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack

Snowpack by and large stable. In some places a melt-freeze crusts capable of bearing loadings will form at night. At shady side intermediate altitude slopes the snowpack surface is becoming increasingly wet. At high altitude slopes the snow is dry and faceted (expansively metamorphosed). Additionally, isolated snowdrift accumulations were deposited. Layers consisting of faceted crystals are embedded in the snowpack close to melt-freeze crusts. The are only prone to triggering in isolated cases. Part of the snowpack base is wet.

Tendency

Due to some new snow and wind snowdrifts can become prevalent again.
