Warmth is weakening the snowpack further. Below 2000 m the old snowpack is thoroughly moist, wet down to the ground, this reinforces gliding over smooth ground. Very little snow on the ground below 1500 m.

Zero-degree level at 2800 m. Few clouds, some sunshine. At 2000 m: 2-6 degrees. Strong to gale strength southerly winds.

Easter Sunday will continue the foehn situation. This will end with a cold front as Monday draws near. Avalanche danger levels could increase on Monday.
