Kernpunkte

Its spring time now so pay close attention to temps and solar radiation as you travel.  When the sun comes out, be aware that stability will quickly deteriorate.  How quickly this happens depends also on the quality of overnight freeze.

Weather Forecast

A mix of sun and cloud for Saturday with only light convective flurries throughout the day.  Freezing levels are forecast to remain at the valley floor.

Avalanche Summary

No new natural avalanche activity.

Snowpack Summary

Very little change over the past few days.  A few cm of snow is falling with convective flurries but not enough to make a difference in terms of ski quality.  Melt freeze crusts can be found on all aspects up to 2200m and on all aspects except true polar up to 3000m.
