The snow is melting steadily as the temperature rises. However, although parts of the trail have become exposed here and there, the section between the 7th Station and area of the 8th Station can still be described as being completely covered with snow.
Nonetheless, walking on the trail should gradually become easier, as there are fewer areas that require proceeding directly up the slope and undulating snowy gorges are becoming less of an obstacle.
However, the snow is showing signs of deterioration, so care is required, particularly when descending.
