Avalanche Activity
Only few avalanche prone locations. Persistent weak layer locally.
Avalanche danger continues to be LOW. The snowpack is relatively stable. Only in very few spot can a slab be triggered by large additional loading, most likely where snow is shallow in transitions from shallow to deep snow in extremely steep north-facing terrain. Avalanches can grow to medium size.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack has settled well, shows immense signs of stormy winter winds. The most recent snowdrift accumulations are well consolidated. Surfaces are melt-freeze encrusted or hard. Above the treeline the terrain is windblown. Snow fills the bowls. Inside the old snow are weak layers of faceted crystals which are not currently a threat except in isolated cases.
