Upcoming couple of days are going to remain very warm so wet loose avalanches on steep slopes below 2500 m. are likely throughout the day.
Deep persistent weak layer is still there in the high alpine, where on shady aspects winter-like dry snow remains in some areas.
Explore the area and keep an eye out for any source of observations on snow qualities and snowpack stability!

On March 22-23 significant amount of graupel was deposited across various elevations and aspects (at least 3-5 cm at 2000 m. with more higher up) where it was later covered by some 20-25 cm of fresh snow at higher elevations.
Below that sit 30 - 40 cm of snow of March 15th and 16th storm that was shifted by strong N and NW winds. Deeper in the pack, hard old wind slabs and thin facet layers sit above a sugary base layer, found in isolated areas. The snow depth is often over 200 cm. (up to 250 cm at 3000 m.) In shallow areas, weaker snow can be seen in shady high elevation locations.
A very warm and sunny day on friday (air temps up to 5C during the day at the resort level) - partly cloudy slightly colder (2C during daytime) on Saturday.
Light precipitation during the Friday-Saturday night.
No significant winds.
Some remnants of wind slabs on S aspects in the high alpine might still be out there - watch out for shooting cracks in such areas.
Glide cracks and glide avalanches are likely and can produce large avalanches - don't stop underneath cracks, or just avoid these areas completely!
