Forecast Snow Stability: Localised areas of unstable windslab will persist mainly on North to East aspects, and develop overnight on South-East and South aspects, above 900 metres. Features such as gullies, corrie rims and ridge flanks will be particularly affected. Elsewhere stability will generally be good. Cornices will be fragile. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.

Forecast Weather Influences: Fresh Northerly winds and snow showers overnight followed by a dry day with light variable winds. The freezing level will be around 600 metres. Observed Weather Influences: It was a dry day with light variable winds. The freezing level was around 700 metres. ObservedSnowStability: Unstable windslab persists on mainly North to East aspects above 900 metres. Areas most affected are gullies, ridge flanks and corrie rims. Fragile cornices are present above these aspects. On other aspects and below this altitude the recent snow is generally stable. The older snowpack is firm and stable. The avalanche hazard is Moderate.
