If you plan to walk between 1 June to 30 September PWS strongly recommends that all walkers at this time of the year are experienced and have a high degree of wilderness navigation skills for winter walking.
I had to abort a trip on Thursday because the snow was too deep.
[Another friend] took 10 hours to walk a section that normally takes two hours a week ago because he was in belly deep snow and one of the hiking guides got hypothermia. Could melt quickly, but it sounds like it has been crazy out there and that maybe 30 people have been stuck on the track cos it's too hard to walk between huts.
