We have finished producing the daily hazard ratings for this season and the hazard rating icons are now replaced with this Spring Conditions icon.
This icon takes into account both the surface ice hazard and avalanche hazard and signifies that conditions are variable on any given day.
The key for safe travel in the spring is timing. If you are too early the surface crust may still be icy and present a sliding hazard, and if you are too late, the crust will have deteriorated and there may be increased avalanche hazard.
Stay safe out there. Have a great spring. We look forward to providing you this service in 2021. Thank you for your support and input this season.
The NSW Team.
