Snowpack
Danger patterns
dp.10: spring conditions
The old snowpack is well transformed, bonded, and stable. There is relatively little snow for this time of year. In the high mountains above about 2100 m a.s.l., 10-15 cm of new snow fell. It was mostly quite wet snow, which has already somewhat bonded to the old base. Lower down, there was partly rain and partly snow, below about 1800 m it mostly rained.
The snowpack will be frozen in the high mountains in the morning, but during the day the snow will soften and melt.

Weather
Sunny weather, mostly moderate northeast wind blowing. At midday, temperature around 4 °C at 1500 m, around -3 °C at 2500 m.

Outlook
Avalanche danger in the high mountains will remain similar. Conditions will be spring-like, snow frozen in the morning, but during the day it will soften and melt. It will gradually become warmer.
