Alpine Conditions
Sub-Alpine Conditions
Mountain environments can be categorised as above or below the tree line, thus Alpine and Subalpine respectively. Find out more about how these types of terrain can create or mitigate backcountry hazards here.
Travel & Terrain advice:
Today will be a nice day to go for a walk and assess the effect the rain has had on the snowpack in the last two days.
With sub zero temperatures overnight, expect surface conditions to be icy first thing. This likely will be a breakable crust in most areas. As the day warms and the sun shines, surface conditions will soften, particularly on northerly aspects.
Advisory Confidence: MODERATE
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.
