Predominantly stable conditions

Avalanche danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. Isolated small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally on steep grass-covered slopes with sufficient snow. Slab avalanches (mostly small) will only be triggered in very isolated cases in shady aspects at higher altitudes. In particular by large additional loading and at transitions from steep to shallow snow.

The snowpack is largely stable. At higher altitudes, snow on the shady side is still dry and from place to place expansively metamorphosed at the surface. Isolated weak layers persist underneath a melt-freeze crust; in the Ammergau Alps also embedded graupel. The snowpack is shallow. On the sunny side the ground is becoming increasingly bare. The snowpack base is wet. Gliding movements over smooth grass-covered slopes cannot be excluded.

Avalanche danger will change little.
