Snow currently softens also on north-facing slopes

Avalanche danger is initially LOW, then rises during the day yet stays in this danger level. Isolated, seldom glide snow avalanches (small-to-medium) are possible at any time of day or night in very steep grass-covered terrain, though the likelihood is greatest in afternoon and evening. Heed glide cracks.

Initially a hardened melt-freeze crust dominates, often hard-as-steel and icy. During the course of the day it softens at varying speed depending on aspect and gradient, and to varying depth. On sunny slopes it becomes slushy and fracturing down to the ground is possible in places.
