    Wind Slabs will still be possible to trigger. Continual Westerly wind will redistribute snow onto the E 1/2. Look for blowing snow as a key sign hazard is increasing.

Recent Avalanche Activity

Mt Hutt Patrol reported a Size 1 Loose Dry avalanche in steep, unsupported terrain on a SW aspect. This occurred naturally some time during the high winds on Thursday.

Current Snowpack Conditions

The snowpack has taken a hammering with winds up to 150kph on Thursday. Any remaining dry snow will be deposited in very sheltered terrain. Elsewhere the rain crust from July 15th will be exposed. Underneath the rain crust, there is no significant layering of note, with the only storm of this year well consolidated through to ground.

Mountain Weather

Gale Westerly's are forecast for Friday along with up to 10mm of rain. The FAFL will drop in the afternoon to around 800m.

Sliding Danger

Sliding hazard is very aspect-dependent. Exposed terrain still has the rain crust on the surface. Assess the surface before ending up on slope, a set of crampons and an axe may come in handy.

Forecast Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain if precipitation will fall as rain or snow.
