    The wind slabs themselves are small, but if triggered they may entrain the loose snow to create larger than expected avalanches. Immediate lee areas are likely areas to find these slabs.

Weather Forecast

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new, however loose dry avalanches from the last 48hrs are still visible.

Snowpack Summary

Not a lot of change in the snowpack as a whole. We are seeing some surface hoar start to develop. The northern region has 10-15mm, while the southern areas have up to 5mm. The treeline snowpack continues to lose strength due to the cold temps. Limited settlement has kept the Nov 12th crust down 50-70cm at treeline elevations. Luckily the winds have also been light keeping snow transport and slab development minimal. Snow depth at Burstall Pass is 110m.
