Low avalanche danger, but isolated avalanche prone locations adjacent to the ridgeline due to fresh snowdrift accumulations.

The avalanche risk is generally low. However, isolated snowdrift accumulations have formed in the areas adjacent to the ridgeline, which can be triggered as small slab avalanches under slight additional load.

Snowpack

The small amount of new fallen snow from the past few days has been partly transported to the eastern and southern sectors by strong north and north-westerly winds in the high altitudes, where small snowdrift accumulations have formed. Between the snowdrift accumulations and the crusted old snowpack, there is sometimes a weak layer of surface hoar or faceted crystals. In the old snow foundation, which is only present in places, there are weak layers of faceted crystals.

Tendency

On Tuesday, the avalanche risk may increase slightly due to some new fallen snow and wind.
