4 cm of snow had accumulated since last Thursday. The freezing level
hovered around 1500 m during the days. At that elevation, the snowpack
temperatures were up in the -2 to -3 range yesterday. Some avalanches,
both wet and dry, had run out of very steep terrain into skiable
terrain, but the activity was isolated.
