Obstacles and avalanche prone locations are covered in snow and difficult to recognise.

Obstacles and avalanche prone locations are covered in snow and difficult to recognise.

The avalanche risk is low. Small avalanches can be triggered in persistent weak layers, especially with large additional loads. The few avalanche prone locations are found on extremely steep slopes in the northern and eastern aspects, especially when entering gullies and bowls.

Up to high altitudes, the snowpack has crusted can form on the surface and is covered by a few centimetres of new fallen snow. At higher altitudes, bonded snow lies on angular snow layers in places. Crack propagation over larger areas is not expected. Overall, there is little snow and ground contact is to be expected everywhere.

The avalanche danger remains low for the time being.
