Current Snowpack Conditions
A highly variable snowpack distribution exists throughout the region. On the western side of the range, outside of wind-accumulated pockets, there is 20 to 30 cm of well-settled snow. The Angelus area has up to 15cm of snow as low as 17000 m. Pockets of windslab will exist in terrain where snow has accumulated above 1900 meters.
Mountain Weather
A few showers, turning to rain in the evening, possibly heavy. Snow to 1400 metres.
Sliding Danger
Snow now covers all the main passes and tramping routes. Sliding into rock is a potential hazard. Ice axe and crampons should be part of your winter gear.
