Most snow in the area melted in thaw on 8.12. Since then, there has been some snowfall, but there is still not much snow in the mountains. Small, layered slabs may exist in gullies and other places where snow has accumulated, especially in south and west facing slopes. On Monday, a short-lived thaw is expected and then, small wet avalanches might release.
