Avalanche danger is low. Some danger zones occur on extremely steep shady slopes. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being forced to take a fall require consideration. On steep grassy slopes where there is sufficient snow on the ground, small glide-snow avalanches are possible.
The large amounts of fresh fallen snow and drifts from the most recent bout of precipitation have been able to settle and consolidate. On shady slopes the snow is generally still loosely-packed, on sunny slopes a melt-freeze crust has formed. At high altitudes on shady slopes in particular, the uppermost layers of the snowpack are weak, making them often prone to triggering.
Nocturnal skies will be star-studded, and thus, very cold. S will be very dry, radiantly sunny. Above the inversion it is mild, with only light winds. At 2000m: 0 to +6 degrees. Mostly light winds.
