SW winds picking up on Friday to moderate. Some snow flurries expected but up to 10cms by Sunday. Seasonal temperatures expected.

Snowpack Summary

Storm snow has formed soft slabs in isolated lee features. It rests on a buried crust found 2100-2600m down 40-60cm on all aspects. In many areas the storm snow remains unaffected by the wind and offers good skiing.
