    Loose Wet avalanches will be possible across the N 1/4 above 1200m. Avoid steep rocky terrain where possible and be wary of overhead terrain if travelling through low elevation bands.

Recent Avalanche Activity

There has been no avalanche activity reported in the past 48 hours.

Current Snowpack Conditions

The snowpack has seen significant wind above 1800m. Elsewhere, previously moist grains and a rain crust make for an interesting surface combination. This surface has been seeing some afternoon softening below 1700m, even on the Southerly 1/2 with recent warm temperatures. Underneath the surface there is no siginficant layering of note with the only storm of this season snow well consolidated through to ground.

Mountain Weather

Monday: Fine, light Southerlys, FAFL up to 2000m.

Tuesday: Fine with afternoon high cloud, winds swing to the NW and increase to moderate, FAFL up as high as 2400m.

Sliding Danger

Surfaces are hard in places and sliding hazard certainly exists. Be wary of ridgeline travel and assess conditions in terrain with good runouts. An axe and crampons are highly recommended.

Forecast Confidence

High

  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.
