Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
There will be very little change in the weather over the next few days. Expect thin high cloud with sunny breaks, and with some random flurries adding a little sparkle to the air. Temps will range from -15 to -8 with light northerly winds at ridgetop.
Snowpack Summary
6cm of light snow over the past week buried a variety of surfaces. On steep S to SW aspects it covers a sun crust and surface hoar. On other aspects it overlies 10-15cm of loose faceted snow. In wind-exposed alpine areas it may hide old, thin windslabs. Below this sits a very strong and settled snowpack.
Avalanche Summary
There have been no new natural avalanches observed in the past few days. Earlier this week loose avalanches were triggered by wind-loading from extreme terrain on north aspects, running into avalanches fans. Skiers and snowboarders continue to trigger small sluffs on steep terrain.
