Travel conditions are best in the morning. Avoid placing yourself below cornices which are weakening and present significant overhead hazard.

    Evidence from recent snowpack tests and whumphing would suggest that a weak layer of facets persists down 20-50cm in some areas, and may be becoming reactive with incremental loading from recent small snowfalls.

Weather Forecast

Diurnal temperature swing can be expected over the next 3 days. Tomorrow's winds will remain generally light with alpine highs of -3C. A mix of sun and cloud will limit the destabilizing influence of solar radiation on the snowpack. Up to 10cm of new snow is forecast for Friday.

Snowpack Summary

A supportive crust  exists to 2,100m near treeline. Higher up, at treeline and above, a winter snowpack remains on N aspects . Solar facing slopes have crusts extending higher into the alpine. At upper elevation a weak faceted layer buried down 20-50cm remains of concern. The snowpack sits on a weak base of facets and depth hoar.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been observed although signs of cornice failures have been  reported

Confidence

Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain
