Be aware of the local persistent weak layer problem!

The avalanche risk is generally low. However, on shady slopes in the higher elevations and transitions from little to more snow still need to be considered in some cases. Only isolated slab avalanches can still be triggered here by large additional loads. The danger of wet snow avalanches is low.

Snowpack

Depending on the altitude and aspect, the snowpack is differently developed on the surface, partly crusted, partly less stabilised and often moist up to high altitudes in the interior and wet towards the ground. The snow base, fundament remains high and weakened on shady slopes. Low and widespread middle elevations are bare, in some places there is only a little snow.

Tendency

Despite some new fallen snow, the avalanche situation hardly changes.
