On the Mt Roberts Tram Wx station we have received 50mm of precipitation in the last 4 days that has left us with a total of 38cm of new snow after settlement.

We had a few short warm periods and wind events during the storm that left some small weak layers in the snowpack. Most of the wind activity has been out of the SE. Today look to see those winds changing direction.

Yesterday Avalanche activity was minimal and the snowpack appears to be settling and bonding well.

We did receive an additional 8cm of new snow yesterday during which time we had a moderate amount of wind.

Todays temperatures are expected to be the warmest in the last 4 days.

There is still a posibility of Human Triggered Avalanches in the Backcountry.

Make sure to evaluate the sites you choose to play individually. Make good decisions, and live to play another day...

Lower angled slopes, more trees, less exposure to cliffs, and terrain traps... all make for safer lines.

Remember to practice with your transceiver, probe, and shovel! But better yet... continue your avalanche education.

Remember a huge number of fatalaties die from the trauma...

The goal is to make educated decisions and stay out of avalanches all together.
