    Variable conditions are the theme for the next few days, with a reasonable melt-freeze cycle happening. What this means is firm conditions in the early hours of the morning and early evening. North facing aspects will be the first to see a change during the day as ambient heat and the sun affect these slopes. This can cause potential surface cohesion loss, providing us with this avalanche risk. So general care and trip planning are required when navigating the alpine environment on the mountain. Be prepared to change plans depending on how the snowpack changes with the current weather.

Recent Avalanche Activity

Several small wet avalanches have been observed across multiple aspects caused by the rain-on-snow event. Most avalanches stopped around mid-track.

Current Snowpack Conditions

A melt-freeze cycle is still present. This is causing surface layers to lose cohesion, mainly on north-facing aspects. Cold temperatures overnight provide a reasonable freeze to the surface layers, making all aspects and elevations below 2000m firm. Surface conditions will continue to undergo a melt-freeze cycle under this weather pattern.

Mountain Weather

Moderate westerly winds with scattered cloud and passing showers. The freezing level is sitting around the 2400m mark during the day.

Sliding Danger

Firm in the mornings and evenings with the cooler temperatures.

Forecast Confidence

High

  • The snowpack structure is well understood.
  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.
