Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer above 2200m, N-NE-E-NW
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind slabs above the tree line. Fresh wind slabs are to be avoided.
The fresh wind slabs are to be avoided above approximately 2000 m. Single backcountry tourers can release avalanches in some places. Mostly they are rather small. The older wind slabs can still be released. Caution is to be exercised at their margins in particular. Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach large size in isolated cases. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines.
Snowpack
The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations over a wide area. In some cases the wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack. They are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at high altitudes. In little used backcountry terrain the avalanche situation is a little more dangerous.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist. The weather will be mostly sunny.
