Ice Conditions 2016: Buller, Blue Lake et al. 5-Jul-2016 At 10:36:01 AM tradgic

There are a bunch of resources here http://www.snowsensebeta.org/index#/north-east-alpine-np-advisory-2/ this is the latest: Blue Lake Climbing Conditions
Snow conditions have seen more snow falling recently on the Main Range followed by very cold nights. The gullies are filling in nicely. Access and deeper snow conditions to get to Illawong is on a fair cover but more snow would be ideal to improve access to Blue Lake and beyond.

In climbing talk that means there is no ice yet...

Also, add the Hump at Buffalo as a place to watch, there was a heap of steep blue shiny stuff there last weekend. This wet cycle will be good for building waterfall ice, need to wait until the freeze out later in the week, then it should all be looking rosier by next weekend.
