Snowpack Summary
Around the summits, the wind redistributed the available snow, exposing different crusts or ice and creating a superposition of stiff wind slabs. The February 17 crust, present mainly on Mount Albert, is buried in places under 10 to 15 cm of snow at low elevation.
The best snow conditions are in areas protected from the wind, above 600m, where the snow has been preserved from the weather events of the last few weeks (thaw and wind).
In general, the height of the snow cover varies from 70 to 90 cm in the valley to 100 to 150 cm in the middle mountains.
