Danger level



Risk of falling on a hard snow surface

The avalanche risk is low. Small snowdrift accumulations can slip on hard surfaces.

Snowpack

With the cold easterly wind, the few centimetres of new fallen snow in windward places are blown away and small snowdrift accumulations have formed. These lie on the ground or on a hardness of the old snowpack and can slide off in clods. At higher altitudes, faceted crystals can be found close to the surface below the mostly stable melt-freeze crust. Otherwise, the snow cover, snowpack is compact and stable. Away from artificially snow-covered pistes, there is usually too little snow for winter sports.

Tendency

The avalanche danger does not change.
