Der det ligger sammenhengende snø består snøoverflaten hovedsakelig av vindpåvirket snø med varierende hardhet. Det gamle og stedvis beskjedne snødekket antas å være stabilt etter mildvær og gjenfrysing.

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen.

Avalanche risk assessment

Skredfaren er primært knyttet til høytliggende områder som har fått nysnø. I enkelte leheng kan det være lett å løse ut skred.

Ellers vil store områder å ha generelt stabile forhold, samt lite snø.
