Very compact, stable snow cover

Very compact, stable snow cover

The avalanche danger is low. Individual small sliding snow avalanches can occur spontaneously on extremely steep, smooth meadow slopes.

On the shaded side, the snow is compact, hardened and partly icy right up to the higher altitudes. During the day, the remaining snow cover softens on the surface with the sun. The base of the snowpack is often wet. At the highest altitudes, a layer of angular crystals can be found underneath the dominating snow cover. The snowpack is thin overall. The middle layers are increasingly thinning out on the sunny side.

The avalanche danger remains low.
