Over the past 24 hours temperatures have been a little milder with some humidity in the atmosphere. This has helped to transform the snowpack which has become more stable. Â Bands of cloud were at different elevations. Â At 1100 metres it was almost impossible to see any terrain features apart from a hint of the landscape changing a few metres ahead. Â In the middle of the day the sun broke out through the clouds briefly. Â It was possibility clear conditions on the highest summits.
