Watch out for small snowdrift accumulations.

Watch out for small snowdrift accumulations.

The avalanche risk is low. Occasionally, small snowdrift accumulations can be triggered as a small slab by a small additional load. This occurs adjacent to the ridgeline and distant from ridgelines in the steep terrain of northern and eastern aspects. Be aware of the risk of being swept away and falling.

Stormy winds and a few centimetres of new fallen snow are causing small-scale wind slab accumulations. The fresh and older snowdrift accumulations are only slightly thick, but are prone to triggering on surface hoar, especially on the shady slopes. At higher and higher elevations, there are often faceted crystals down to the ground below a melt-freeze crust near the surface. On the sunny slopes, the little new fallen snow falls up to high altitudes on the apery ground.

Little change.
