Weather + Forecast

Weather

Weather is dependent on altitude. A 5-day forecast for each altitude zone is displayed on the projector.

Weather will affect your ability to move and acclimatise on the mountain. It is important to pay close attention to the weather forecast.

 

Possible Weather Conditions:

Fine

No Effect

Cloudy

Loss of 1 acclimatisation point for each client spending a night in this weather.

Fine with Snow

Require 1 additional movement point for each node you pass through or move to with this weather.

Cloudy with Snow

Require 1 additional movement point for each node you pass through or move to with this weather AND loss of 1 acclimatisation point for each client spending a night in this weather.

Whiteout

Loss of 2 acclimatisation points for each client spending a night in this weather AND guides cannot move.

NOTE: If you attempt to move into a whiteout, the guide will stop at the node prior to the whiteout and all of the movement tokens selected will be consumed even though the move is not fully completed.

TOP TIPS

1. Effects of weather on acclimatisation are in addition to all other effects (oxygen, location etc).

 

2. Take into account the LOSS of acclimatisation points and/or the ADDITIONAL cost of movement due to the weather when planning how to move.

 

3. Make sure you plan ahead using the forecast.
