RECENT OBSERVATIONS

moderATE AVALANCHE DANGER.

tHURSDAY

Improving weather has brought the danger back to moderate above 1700m and Low below 1700m. The layer that was giving plannar results @30cm has improved and is now not a concern. The layer @85cm is still reactive so will will keep an eye on this. The only signs of instability are some pinwheels with warmer weather. 

 

OUTLOOK

Snow looks to be coming on Sunday PM so next week should see snow down to 500m. So go and get amongst it , Saturday is looking to be the best day with light winds and some cloud.


Always a big thanks to everyone who is helping make this possible through our membership kickstart and through our merchandise drive.
