Regn og stigende temperaturer den siste uka har gjort snøoverflaten våt og fuktig oppover i fjellet. Snødekket virker å være isotermt opp til ca 800 moh. På nasjonaldagen vil det legge seg nysnø et godt stykke ned i fjellsidene.
Rundt skare fra 23. april har det vært temperaturgradient og utviklet seg kantkorn. Det har kommet mye snø de siste ukene, og laget ligger mange steder dypt. Laget er derfor generelt vanskelig å påvirke.
