Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been reported. Small wet loose avalanches occurred from steep terrain over the weekend.

Moving forward avalanche activity is only expected from wind affected features with new snowfall.

Snowpack Summary

Localised areas may see up to 10 cm of new snow by Wednesday morning, falling over moist snow. In exposed terrain, southerly winds have redistributed the recent snow into deeper deposits on northerly aspects. A widespread crust exists 30-50 cm deep.

At lower elevations, the rain-saturated snowpack tapers quickly with elevation. For more details on the North Shore snowpack, check out this video from Friday.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
