The avalanche risk is mostly moderate above the tree line. However, some of the snowdrift accumulations that have formed in the past few days must be taken into account. In many aspects, medium slab avalanches can still be triggered on steep slopes, in filled steep bowls and gullies, sometimes with a small additional load. If layers in persistent weak layers (transition from little to more snow) are addressed, slab avalanches can occasionally become large. In sunny steep terrain, individual naturally triggered avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
The snowpack has slowly settled and the wind slab is binding better with the old snowpack, but may still contain weak layers. There are a few more centimetres of new fallen snow, covering the older wind slab that is prone to triggering. In the very high north-facing and on shady slopes, the snow base, fundament (persistent weak layer problem) is partly weakened.
