Since the snowfall has been weak at higher elevations, watch out for storm slabs formed by the snow. Also, be wary of slipping on icy snow surfaces hidden by thin fresh snow. Please consider careful route setting to avoid entering steep slopes. The heavy rains of the 21st have melted the snow in the lower elevations. Some tour routes that are usually accessible may not be available this year. Please plan carefully.
Snowfall since yesterday has formed storm slabs. Southwest to west winds of about 10 m/s are blowing on the main ridge.
No new avalanches were reported yesterday (22nd).
The snow surface layer was sufficiently wet from the heavy rainfall on the 21st and then froze with the subsequent drop in temperature. Then, yesterday morning (22nd), glaze was formed. Subsequent snowfall has been light, leaving a mix of areas with very hard, frozen snow surfaces exposed and areas with a thin layer of fresh snow (10-15 cm) on top of the frozen surfaces.
