Conditions Summary

There is a mixed bag in the mountains currently.

In the alpine, wind slabs exist in isolated lee features from NW winds. These are not bonding well to the previous surface (crust) and field teams avoided steep convex loaded slopes. There are also areas of localised ice making for interesting skiing at times. That said, good turns were found on low angle supported terrain.

In the sub-alpine, the snowpack is well settled and supportive. There is a breakable crust on southerly aspects whilst northerly aspects were moist from the sun and warm temperatures.

Alpine Hazards

Sub-Alpine Hazards

Travel & Terrain advice:
This is just mock text: Be aware of navigational issues with low visibility, particularly in the alpine. Avalanche hazard – storm slab/wind slab - on lee slopes in alpine (SE aspect), avoid convexities and slopes over 25 degrees. Below treeline be aware of obstacles due to shallow snowpack. PH

Confidence: STRONG / MODERATE / LOW
