On south-facing slopes, hardly enough snow on the ground for avalanches
Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic in isolated cases. Due to daytime warming, mostly small, wet loose snow slides trigger naturally on extremely steep slopes.
During the night, a melt-freeze crust will form, then swiftly melt in the sunshine next morning. Older snowdrift accumulations have consolidated somewhat. In many places graupel is embedded. At intermediate altitudes the fresh fallen snow was frequently deposited on moist ground which was previously bare of snow. South-facing slopes are losing their snow cover.
Avalanche danger is not expected to change significantly.
