Danger by Elevation
Active Avalanche Problems
The avalanche risk is low. Where there is still snow, wet snow is problematic. Occasionally, small gliding avalanches can detach themselves on very steep slopes with smooth ground. In extremely steep terrain, small, wet loose snow avalanches are possible during the day.
At night, a stable melt-freeze crust forms, which softens again during the day in the sun. Where there is still a snowpack, it is patchy, soaked and consists mainly of snowmelt. The southern sides are free of snow.
