Conditions Summary
A little more of the clear precipitation fell on and off throughout the day yesterday. The silver lining, this softened the skiing in the sub-alpine.
There were no observations in the alpine yesterday.

Daily Discussion:
The forecast today is not looking very good. It looks like we are in for more wet precipitation. Freezing level is forecasted to be at 2350m and as such, we expect the ‘wet precipitation’ to be… R&!N to the top.
Beware of steep icy slopes. The little bit of precipitation in the alpine will not have significantly changed the widespread ice hazard.
Be prepared for whiteout navigation. Expect low clouds through most of the day.
LOW does not mean NO. Watch for unstable snow in isolated terrain features.
Confidence: MODERATE
Avalanche Problems
Primary Problem
Generally safe avalanche conditions. Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features.
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.
