Predominantly stable conditions, only isolated danger zones
Avalanche danger is low. Snowdrifts can be triggered by mostly large additional loading in the old snow, esp. in transitions from shallow to deep snow on steep shady slopes at high altitudes.
Snowpack
Nocturnal outgoing short-wave radiation is generating a melt-freeze crust on sunny slopes. On the shady side, the snowpack surface is loose and powdery. More deeply embedded insdie the snowpack are isolated weak layers. Elsewhere the snowpack is stable. The old snowpack is thoroughly moist, wet at ground level in places. South-facing slopes are becoming increasingly bare of snow.
Tendency
Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly

Freshly generated snowdrifts prone to triggering in isolated cases
Avalanche danger is low. Snowdrifts can be problematic at high altitudes. Small slab avalanches can be triggered by minimum additional loading. Avalanche prone locations are found in steep ridgeline terrain in N-E aspects and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls.
Snowpack
Nocturnal outgoing short-wave radiation is generating a melt-freeze crust on sunny slopes. On the shady side the snowpack surface is powdery.Isolated freshly-generated snowdrifts at high altitudes are prone to triggering. Older drifts have consolidated. Inside the snowpack at high altitudes there are still layers of faceted crystals, unlikely to trigger. At intermediate altitudes the old snowpack is thoroughly moist, wet at the ground in places.
Tendency
Fresh drifts will consolidate, avalanche danger levels not expected to change
