Weather Forecast

Cool and clear weather continues in the short term. Temperatures to drop towards the weekend and be accompanied by up to 10cm of new snow by Saturday morning. Southwest flow continues, with strongest winds expected on Thursday afternoon.

Snowpack Summary

Strong Southwesterly winds have created pockets of windslab and obliterated exposed areas at upper elevations.  Weak basal facets are bridged by a strong mid-pack in most areas at treeline and above.

Avalanche Summary

Natural cornice failures continue and many more are waiting their turn to fall. Several point releases observed on steep solar aspects.
