Heed danger of taking a fall on smooth snowpack surfaces in steep terrain.

Avalanche danger is low. The main problem are snowdrifts. Sporadically, small-scale snowdrift accumulations are still triggerable on ridgeline slopes in N/E aspects as well as in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Avalanches tend to remain small-sized. The risks of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Most of the snow that fell in the last few days was transported; snow depths vary widely; ridges and crests are windblown. Small-scale snowdrift accumulations that are still prone to triggering were generated on leeward summit slopes. Isolated weak intermediate layers still persist in older snowdrift accumulations. There is still only very little snow.

It will stay chilly and time and again there will be a little snowfall. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly over the next few days.
