Wedge Currie traverse conditions

albertocsanz, Monday 21st April, 2025 10:00AM
We traversed the Wedge->Currie over Easter. - Drove the IPP road on Wedge end to 850m, probably goes a but higher now. Skis from the car. - Good supportive snow to the Wedgemount hut. - Probed to 2.5 - 3m on the Weart Glacier. - North faces had variable snow with breakable crust, south aspects was wet - Ridges are great for travelling on skis right now. Steep south aspects had avalanched big in the warm weather. Generally good spring diurnal cycle. - Received some 5-10cm of snow on the Sunday - Currie can be skinned to the summit - Exit is tricky route finding but goes on skis till 1200 m depending on your tolerance for bad skiing. - Trail to the lower 2WD parking lot is in decent shape, but consider running shoes.
