The avalanche risk is low. Persistent weak layers are problematic in some places. Small, old snowdrift accumulations can be triggered as small slab avalanches with a large additional load. The few avalanche prone locations are on very steep slopes in the northern and eastern aspects. The risk of falling and injury is greater than the danger of burial.

Small, old snowdrift accumulations lie on a melt-freeze crust, under which crystals, some of which have an angular structure, can be found. The old snowpack mostly consists of rounded, angular crystals and is interspersed with several melt-freeze crusts. There is little to no snow at lower altitudes and on the sunny side.

Slight increase in avalanche danger with new fallen snow and wind.
