Avalanche Activity
Persistent weak layer at elevated altitudes from place to place
Avalanche danger is low. A persistent weak layer threatens at high altitudes in isolated extremely steep zones and near to ridgelines where there is lots of snow. Danger zones are small and large additional loading is required to trigger small avalanches as a rule. On steep grassy slopes, isolated small slide-snow slides cannot be excluded.
Snowpack Structure
Without much wind influence, fresh fallen snow was deposited atop an old snowpack surface which was under the influence of warm temperatures and rainfall. It settled well and then stabilized due to low temperatures. Bonding of fresh snow to old snow is generally good. All in all, there is too little snow for this juncture of the season. Snow depths vary at intermediate altitude from 10 to 60 cm. In the old snowpack at higher altitudes there more snow from place to place.
Tendency
Avalanche danger is expected to remain low, initially.
