New snow with a critical weak layer on north shaded slopes. Potential for wet avalanches on sunlit slopes.
LOW (1st degree) avalanche danger will be concentrated mainly above 2000m above sea level, mainly in the northern shaded sector. Due to snowfall and wind, snow slabs and pillows of varying thickness and hardness have formed mainly on the leeward slopes of NE-SW orientations, lying on top of a layer of hail from the last light snowfall. Together they will form a critical hazard layer. The avalanche will be able to be released especially with a large additional load. Smaller spontaneous wet avalanches from new snow may form on southern sunlit slopes.
Snowpack
The snow cover on the southern slopes is hard firn in the morning, soft after sunlight. In the northern sectors mostly stable, but not worn. Up to 10 cm of new snow fell during the last snowfall period. It lies on hard ground and is not sufficiently bound, susceptible to avalanche release. There is a layer of hail in the profile at the highest elevations of the northern orientations.
