Danger of falls due to small fresh snowdrift accumulations: beware
Avalanche danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. On very steep smooth slopes isolated glide-snow avalanches (medium-sized) are possible. At high altitudes, isolated small slab avalanches can be triggered by 1 pewrson. Danger zones occur in steep ridgeline terrain and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls.
As temperatures drop the wet snowpack will stabilize. On south-facing slopes the small amounts of fresh snow will fall on bare ground up to high altitudes. On shady slopes, atop a surface-wide snowpack above 1700 m. Bonding to the old snowpack surface is generally good. Gusty winds from varying directions will generate new drifts. Soft weak layers can occur inside these fresh drifts.
As temperatures rise again and sunhine prevails, slab avalanche danger will quickly recede. Wet-snow will again become the problem.
