In high alpine regions, the most dangerous places are those with blowing snow

The most dangerous places are those with blown snow, where a heavy load can trigger a mostly small, blocky Avalanche. More caution is needed in ravines and gullies where there may be more blown snow.

Snowpack

dp.4: cold following warm / warm following cold

The snow base is local, with little snow overall. As the weather has warmed, the snow cover has started to change more rapidly in the mid-mountains and also in the high alpine regions. There is still some light snow in the shelter of the high alpine regions, but in the high alpine regions the snow base is mostly crusty and hard.

Tendency

Weather and avalanche conditions will remain similar in the coming days.
