Further investigation by field teams yesterday continues to confirm that the wind slabs are a concern.

Evidence of one small natural slab avalanche, triggered by cornice fall, was observed from a distance (Kosciusko Cornice).

Forecasted Alpine Hazards

Forecasted Sub-Alpine Hazards

Travel & Terrain advice:
Be prepared for whiteout navigation.

Evaluate windslabs prior to committing to your line. Choose low angle well supported terrain.

Beware steep icy slopes on windward aspects.

Confidence: MODERATE

Uncertain of timing of incoming storm. Avalanche hazard will rise with increase precipitation.

Heightened avalanche conditions on specific terrain features. Evaluate snow and terrain carefully; identify features of concern.

We need your eyes too. If you’ve been touring in the Alpine National Park we’d love to know what you have seen. Every little bit helps.

Cloudy. Very high (near 100%) chance of snow, most likely from late this morning. Winds easterly 50 to 70 km/h. (Source: BOM)
