Avalanche danger is low. The main problem: gliding snow. At intermediate altitudes, glide-snow avalanches can unleash naturally at any time of day or night in forest clearances or on smooth grass-covered slopes which have not yet discharged. Slopes with glide cracks should be circumvented. Isolated avalanches are generally small-sized.

The old snowpack has settled well, and consolidated. At intermediate altitudes the snowpack is thoroughly wet down to the ground and has noticeably receded in volume. On sunny slopes and at low altitudes the snowpack has given way to bare ground.

Instable weather with westerly winds will raise avalanche danger at mid-week. Currently, smooth hard snowpack surfaces prevail particularly on north-facing slopes, creating a danger of falling.
