Weather Forecast

Temperatures continue to rise gradually to more seasonal norms. A mix of sun and cloud over the next few days will bring small amounts of snow. West and northwest winds will be moderate in the alpine.

Snowpack Summary

The weekends storm snow is 115cm and that tapers off south of Parkers Ridge. The main weakness is a sandwich of crusts and facets at the mid to lower snowpack.Additional snow loading continues to occur on Easterly aspects from the NW winds in the alpine.

Avalanche Summary

Two natural avalanches to size 2 have come down on north aspects in the alpine in the past 12 hours. Snowpack is settling but any increase in temperature and or wind transport could up the hazard again.
