Low avalanche danger will prevail. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep slopes and in the vicinity of peaks.

The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on extremely steep shady slopes. The old snowpack is weak; its surface consists of faceted crystals. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

The wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with the old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Over a wide area a little snow is lying.
