Remaining mild, some hope midweek.
17th February 2024
Another mild day today, with the snowpack thawing at lower elevations, but surviving at higher elevations on the mountain. The avalanche hazard remains Low, and there is little change in the forecast for the weather over the next 24 hours. Most extensive snow patches are found on North to East aspects above 900 metres.
There is some hope for more seasonally colder conditions later in the week, and some weather / temperature graphs, at the bottom of this blog, show this forecast.

Ski track to …. mmm… let’s see!

Looking ahead to this coming week. Forecast shows colder temperatures to come, with the polar Rossby waves sending us some Winter weather. Graphs courtesy of Wetterzentrale.

Aww man. This is terrible. The snow will be completely gone before the cold weather arrives mid week. Winter climbing? More like mud climbing.
