Avalanche danger

Today · Thu 15 Oct2 · Moderate

With snow in the forecast to low levels, Storm Slabs will begin to form on slopes with enough snow, especially lee to the Southerly winds. This new snow is expected to bond well however new snow instabilities are expected with short fine breaks possible though the night. Cautious route finding will be required if wanting to venture onto steeper terrain. Even a small slide in current conditions could have sub optimal outcomes.
