It was a lovely spring day, calm, clear and sunny. Very light South-Easterly winds over the higher summits otherwise generally very still. The freezing level was above the summits. Last night the snowpack refroze and was icy and stable early this morning. Through the day the surface layers softened but stability remained generally good in most places. Some minor localised surface instabilities developed during the afternoon on steeper slopes exposed to the sunshine mainly on North through East to South-East aspects. The avalanche hazard is Low.
