Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: snowdrifts that can be triggered as slab avalanches (mostly small) even by minimum additional loading. Avalanche prone locations are located in steep ridgeline terrain in NW/E/SE aspects and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Isolated smaller glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally on steep smooth grassy slopes in all aspects.
Danger of small wet avalanches increases due to rainfall.
