There were several natural and sled triggered avalanches in Renshaw from the last couple of days. Notably all were on east facing slopes in the alpine that had seen some loading from recent southwesterly winds. They all failed on a layer of surface hoar that formed in early March and is now buried on average around 30cm. This layer is likely to get more reactive and easy to trigger with the forecasted snow and windloading over the coming days.
