In shady slopes at high altitudes, there are isolated weak layers of faceted crystals in the snow cover, mostly in the vicinity of crusts. Away from this, there is a succession of thin layers of new and drifting snow on the meadows or it is bare.

Avalanche Activity
Low avalanche danger
The avalanche danger is low, isolated danger areas due to older snowdrift accumulations can still be found behind the edges of the terrain adjacent to the ridgeline and in gullies and bowls that have been blown in. Drift snow areas are small and easily recognisable, but danger areas due to stones under the thin snow cover, snowpack are often not.
