Mountain Conditions
Tuesday 24th November 2020, 17:03hrs: All new snow that fell last Sunday morning has melted off to 2000m. Bit of a mixed bag for the week ahead, drizzle/rain developing now through Wednesday with gale-force south-easterlies across the tops; Thursday may be OK; Friday rain with late snow to 1200m; Saturday OK again; Sunday rain. The huge Spring storms have seemingly let go of us, though still unstable weather continues.
Climbers have reported soft (and potentially loose) snow conditions on snow-clad routes, rock routes are still clearing of the loose grud. Many ridge routes are now rock to 1900m (some to 2000m), or mixed with shallow snow above 1900m - the snow is no longer gluing the loose rock in place! Bergschrunds are now opening rapidly.

19/11/2020 08:03hrs: During the week gone, we received another 100mm of rainfall on the Main Range during Monday & Tuesday. Prior this, climbers had reported earlier that snow conditions were "OK" with a shallow wet/soft surface supported by a firm crystalline layer, snow-line at about 1700m on Main Range, many ridges (even some to 2000m+) were finding their way back to rock; bergschrunds on the glaciers and permanent ice-fields are now tearing apart rapidly. Expect snowpack to be soft now.
Another rain storm is forecast to develop this Saturday, though gale force winds are likely to be its prominent feature. A dusting of fresh snow will follow on.
