OBSERVATION SUMMARY

TREND: IMPROVING / ONGOING / DETERIORATING

OBSERVATION:

The storm has passed and brought with it a warming event on Sunday 8th July.

This has created a very firm top in not sun affected areas. In sun affected areas the melt freeze cycle has started and will continue while under the influence of the high pressure.

In the lee of N/NW snow deposits from the storm are around 30-50 cm. totalling a snow depth of around 130 cm. This new snow sits on the crust of the pre frontal rain event.  RP 15@35cm

. 

OUTLOOK: High pressure , good visibility and the melt freeze will dictate conditions for the near future!

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