Avalanche danger is low. Isolated triggerings are possible in extremely steep terrain. In high-altittude pass and ridgeline zones, small-area fresh drifts require attentiveness. They are often prone to triggering. The danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow masses. The risk of small glide-snow avalances continues to be difficult to assess. Caution urged below glide cracks.

The below-average snowpack is well consolidated by and large. In high altitude pass and ridgeline zones, small fresh, often trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness, esp. on steep shady slopes these drifts have been deposited atop loose snow and are prone to triggering. On sunny slopes the most recent snowfall is already moist and is forming a melt-freeze crust. During the daytime hours, this crust softens up again.

Friday will be predominantly sunny, high-altitude clouds will generate diffuse light conditions. Mild for this juncture of the season. The zero-degree level will rise to nearly 3000m. At 2000m: +4 degrees. Light to moderate southerly winds at high altitude.
