Avalanche danger is low. Small-scale snowdrifts can be triggered as small slab avalanches by minimum additional loading. The few avalanche prone locations are found in steep N/E-facing ridgeline terrain as well as in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. This applies in particular to high altitudes. On very steep slopes with sufficient snow over smooth ground small glide-snow avalanches cannot be excluded.

At intermediate altitudes some centimeters of new fallen snow and shallow snowdrifts were deposited either on bare ground or atop a moist old snowpack surface with which it has bonded well. With ascending altitude the bonding will become poorer, especially on shady side slopes above approx. 2000m. In places, the snowdrifts, too, can contain layers that are prone to triggering. However, the amounts of new fallen snow are small. At intermediate altitudes the old snowpack is thoroughly moist, and wet down to the ground. Barely any change of avalanche danger anticipated.
