Mountain Conditions
Friday 23rd April 2021, 07:40hrs: Generally unstable weather for the weekend; heavy rain is likely to develop through today (Friday). Western rivers have already adversely reacted to this, and drier eastern rivers are likely to run high later on Friday. Snowfall is expected to lower to about 1500m (tree-line) by Sunday. Fresh, shallow snowfalls from earlier this week has been hanging in there on the Main Range above 1750m (all aspects).
Climbers report that most glaciers/ice-fields are still passable with care; bergschrunds on the larger glaciers (Crow, White) are hauling apart and cut-off is imminent. Some ice-fields are disappearing again (eg. the Otira Face shelf, and under Mt Speight), Glaciers such as the Rolleston and Goldney are now mere ice-fields covered in moraine. High level snow could likely disguise some crevasse and bergschrund hazards for a time afterwards!

18/04/2021 07:46hrs: Our cooler & wetter than "normal" Autumn continues this week. NW gales and rainfall continue, with the occasional SW flick to drop some snow onto the Alps. Ground temperatures are still very warm so new snow doesn't stick around beyond a couple of days on the sub-ranges, though a building dusting is apparent on the Main Range above 1750m.
