Safety alerts: High altitude walks - Snow covered and hazardous conditions
Many areas above about 1800m in altitude in Kosciuszko National Park are currently snow covered from recent snowfalls and post winter snow. Please note the following information when visiting these areas:
General:
Be prepared:
- Low visibility, extreme winds, heavy snowfalls can all occur without warning.
- Wear and carry appropriate clothing, carry navigation equipment and be prepared for extreme conditions.
- Track surfaces and signs may not be visible.
Travel with care:
- Choose your routes carefully
- Steep and icy terrain and thin snow/ice cover over rivers and lakes can make travel very dangerous.
- Deep soft spring snow can collapse underneath you - mind your steps.
Avalanche:
- Even at this time of year there is a risk of avalanches in the higher areas of Kosciuszko National Park, particularly on Main Range and around Mount Kosciuszko.
- Steeper, treeless slopes and the tops of ridges where overhanging cornices develop carry the greatest risk.
- Snow stability varies with wind, temperature and the amount and patterns of snowfall.
- Avalanches can occur at any time through winter or spring and can be fatal.
- Back country travellers should check snow and weather conditions before departure and remain alert.
Perisher/Main Range - areas above about 1800m, including: Kosciuszko walk, Main Range walk, Summit walk, Mt Stillwell walk and Hanells Spur walk:
