Low avalanche danger, but watch out for older wind slabs in the north and east aspects!

The avalanche risk is low. In a few places at high altitudes, old and fresh snowdrift accumulations can be triggered as small slab avalanches in steep and shady gullies and bowls. Due to icy surfaces, the risk of falling is greater than the avalanche risk in many places.

Snowpack

There is still little snow. The snowpack is mostly moist or crusted can form, but in the higher elevations, angular snow crystals are still weakening the stability on shady slopes.

Tendency

Extensive cloud fields in most regions will only allow a little sunshine in between. It will remain mild. No change in the avalanche risk is expected.
