Low avalanche danger
Avalanche danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. Isolated glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally on steep grassy slopes at any time of day or night where there is sufficient snow on the ground.
The snowpack has settled and consolidated. At night, a breakable crust forms on south-facing slopes, then softens during the daytime. Dry snow is to be found on shady slopes. At high altitudes, there are isolated layers of faceted crystals. At low altitudes the snowpack is shallow, moist down to the ground. Gliding movements over smooth grass-covered slopes cannot be excluded.
Avalanche danger levels not expected to change significantly
