By and large stable conditions.
By and large stable conditions.
Avalanche danger is low. Isolated weak layers persist in the old snowpack. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in particular by large additional loading. Avalanche prone locations occur at transitions from shallow to deep snow in extremely steep W/N/E-facing terrain.
The snowpack has settled considerably and is largely stable. Only on shady side slopes at higher altitudes are there still weak layers consisting of faceted crystals embedded in the middle part of the snowpack close to melt-freeze crusts. On the sunny side a thin surface crust will form during the night which will soften again during the course of the day. The snowpack base is partly wet. Therefore, gliding movements of the snowpack cannot be exlcuded.
Avalanche danger levels will remain low.
