Danger level

Wet snow

Near-surface snow thoroughly wet in the sunshine

Avalanche danger is low. In isolated cases, new snow can be a problem. Small loose-snow slides can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain wherever sufficient snow has fallen due to solar radiation.

Snowpack

Snowpack melt-freeze encrusted in early morning,softening quickly in the sunshine, the snowpack moistening thoroughly in places as temperatures rise and firmness is forfeited. There there was snow on the ground it is now wet, esp on south-facing slopes the ground is bare up to the timberline. At high altitudes the surface on shady slopes is still loose and dry.

Tendency

Transition to springtime conditions, including daytime rise in avalanche danger
