Predominantly stable conditions, only isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is low. Snowdrifts can be triggered by mostly large additional loading in the old snow, esp. in transitions from shallow to deep snow on steep shady slopes at high altitudes.

Nocturnal outgoing short-wave radiation is generating a melt-freeze crust on sunny slopes. On the shady side, the snowpack surface is loose and powdery. More deeply embedded insdie the snowpack are isolated weak layers. Elsewhere the snowpack is stable. The old snowpack is thoroughly moist, wet at ground level in places. South-facing slopes are becoming increasingly bare of snow.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly
