In high alpine regions, there are more dangerous places with blowing snow

The most dangerous places are those with blown snow, where a heavy load can trigger a mostly small, blocky Avalanche. Greater 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. On the sunny slopes of the mid-mountains, the snow is more variable, with land patches appearing. Elsewhere, the snowpack is mostly dry and little transformed, with some drifting at the top. Ridges and peaks are in many places blown down with a hard and crusty snow base.

Tendency

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