Current Snowpack Conditions

There is a thin snow cover below 1800m, (observed from flight around Milford Track and neighboring valleys to the east 7 July).

Est. 50-80 cm of snow above 1800m from 3-5th July storm, with less at lower levels, to about 15cm at 1100m.

The first snow fall of the winter was on 24/25th June, with about 10cm at 800m in the South of the forecasting area. There was less snow in the North, estimating about 10-20 cm above 1600m, on tussock, rock and slabs.

Mountain Weather

Showers, turning to heavy rain for a time in the morning and afternoon. Snow lowering to 1100 metres at night.

Wind at 1000 metres - Northwesterly gale 70 km/h, easing to 45 km/h in the evening.

Wind at 2000 metres - Northwesterly gale 75 km/h, rising to severe gale 100 km/h in the morning and afternoon.

Freezing level - 1800 metres, lowering to 1400 metres in the afternoon.

Sliding Danger

Icy conditions are to be expected, on slabs and at higher elevations, which have been stripped back by S/SE winds. Take ice axe and crampons.

Forecast Confidence

Moderate

  • We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather.
  • We are uncertain due to variable freezing levels.
