    Moderate danger

Snow is in the mountains and the snowpack is generally considered stable in the area.

The avalanche bulletin is at a regional scale. It does not necessarily represent avalanche danger in urban areas.

Snow layers and snow cover

Snow in the mountains has become wet following the recent thaw across the country, but is generally considered stable. In the recent cold, surface hoar may have formed on the existing snowpack above approximately 600 meters in elevation. If it becomes buried in snowfall over the coming days, it could create a longer-lasting weak layer.

Recent avalanches

No recent avalanches.

Weather forecast

On Tuesday, a weather system moves across the country with snow fall in the mountains from S-directions. Light winds on Wednesday with occasional snow showers.
