The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can in isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack. Over a wide area only a little snow is now lying. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last three days.

The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. Above the tree line, shady slopes: Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak. In some places various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Over a wide area only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. As a consequence of rising temperatures and solar radiation a crust will form on the surface.

Until Monday the weather will be mild. Low avalanche danger will still be encountered.
