On Tuesday at Mount Albert, there was between 2 and 3 cm of fresh snow resting directly on a very firm and icy crust that could support the weight of a skier. It is possible that Wednesday morning a few more centimetres will be added to that, but not enough to improve conditions on the mountain. Skiing in the alpine is possible, but the consequences of a slide right now could be disastrous. There are zones of accumulation, alternating with many exposed rocks and small trees not yet buried. The average height of the snowpack is still very thin, about 20 to 40 cm in the valley, 60 to 90 cm at mid-mountain, and extremely variable from one place to another.
