Avoid zones below glide cracks.

Avalanche danger is low. Small snowdrift accumulations can be triggered by 1 person in a few danger zones, releases mostly small. There is latent danger of glide-snow avalanches, sometimes reaching medium size. Small snowdrift accumulations can be triggered in places by minimum additional loading, releases mostly small. Due to solar radiation in the afternoon, small loose-snow avalanches possible in extremely steep terrain.

The shallow fresh snow was deposited atop an irregular, mostly hard snowpack surface, is bonding well. At low and intermediate altitudes the snowpack is often thoroughly moist.
