Low danger
Rather thin wind slabs have formed on top of hardpacked snow, especially in SW-aspect. Weak layers with facets could exist in the wind packed snow but only small sluffs are expected.
Snow layers and snow cover
Rather little snow is in the area, especially close to the sea. Inland there are thin isolated wind slabs on top of a hardpacked crust. Weak layers with facets were observed late last week and the facets might have grown further since then, due to a steep temperature gradient in the snow. In these conditions, mountain travelers could trigger small avalanches but risk of injuries is mainly from sliding on hardpacked/icy snow underneath.
Recent avalanches
No recent reports of avalanches.
