Predominantly stable conditions.
Avalanche danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally on steep grassy slopes at any time of day or night where there is sufficient snow on the ground.
The snowpack is largely stable. At night, a breakable crust forms on south-facing slopes which softens fast. Dry snow is to be found on shady slopes. At intermediate altitudes, isolated weak layers persist underneath a melt-freeze crust. The snowpack is shallow. At higher altitudes the ground is becoming increasingly bare at higher altitudes. The snowpack base is wet. Gliding movements over smooth grass-covered slopes cannot be excluded.
Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly
