A few cm of new snow has fallen in the  last 12 hours.  Very cold morning with strong wind. Face mask and extra layer is recommended today. The avalanche risk extremely high. The top gates are closed. I know we want to find some fresh snow but please take it easy today.

It’ll be much calmer tomorrow.  Better to have easy day today and be ready for tomorrow:)
