Observations Summary
Snow was firm on the ridges yesterday but at lower elevations the snowpack was less supportive. Foot penetration was up to 45cm deep.
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:
Expect surface conditions to be icy first thing. This is likely to 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: Low (limited observations)
