Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. On extremely steep sunny slopes, isolated small loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. In isolated cases, small, older snowdrift patches are prone to triggering. Danger zones lie at high altitudes in extremely steep ridgeline terrain on north-facing slopes. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration.
On shady slopes there is dry powder atop a melt-freeze crust at intermediate altitudes. Near ridgelines there are older, brittle snowdrift accumulations which are prone to triggering in places. On sunny slopes the ground is bare of snow up to high altitudes, what snow remains is melt-freeze encrusted and stable in the early morning hours. Due to solar radiation, bonding in the near-surface snow will dissolve, it will turn to firn snow and the process of moistening will continue.
No significant change in avalanche danger levels anticipated over the next few days
