Watch out for wind-blown snow (snow slabs and pillows)
A small amount of new snow is blown by strong winds over layers of older snow. Dangerous pillows and slabs are formed. Avalanches are especially possible under heavy loads and on steep to very steep slopes. The avalanche danger increases with altitude. Only small avalanches may occur in isolated places.
Due to the overall low amount of snow, the snowpack is stable.
