The avalanche risk is moderate across the board. Depending on the amount of snow present, small to medium spontaneous wet snow avalanches are to be expected on steep terrain (more so when it rains in the morning or when the sun shines in the afternoon) and individual gliding avalanches are possible on steep, smooth ground. Older snowdrift accumulations can still be triggered in isolated cases at higher elevations under additional load. Steep slopes, filled-in steep bowls and gullies must be observed in this regard.
Snowpack
The snowpack is settled, can consolidate on the surface overnight due to significantly falling temperatures at higher altitudes, but is damp to wet on the inside depending on altitude and aspect. Light rain in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon lead to further moisture input and decreasing firmness of the snowpack. Only at higher altitudes and in isolated cases are there localised weak layers and in very high northern areas the snow base, fundament (persistent weak layer problem) is occasionally weakened.
