Low avalanche danger will prevail. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep slopes and in the vicinity of peaks. In some localities 0 to 2 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1500 m.

The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on extremely steep shady slopes. The old snowpack is weak; its surface consists of faceted crystals. 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.

The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Over a wide area a little snow is lying. The wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes.
