Snowpack Summary
A 2-3cm rain crust is now buried by 5-10cm of new snow in the alpine and at tree line. This all overlies well settled storm snow from last week's series of storms that seems to have a good bond to the layers below. An old rain crust is reported to be down 150-180cm in the North Shore mountains. This layer has strengthened in snowpack tests and is unlikely to trigger in most places now.
