LO for 9/4. Old snowpack well bonded and stable. Shallow new windslab possible E to S above 900m. Low Hazard.

LO for 9/4. Old snowpack well bonded and stable. Shallow new windslab possible E to S above 900m. Low Hazard.

Forecast Snow Stability: The old snowpack will remain well bonded, firm and stable with a thin covering of soft snow. Redistribution may cause deposits of fresh windslab to form on East to South aspects above 900m. Any new deposits are expected to be shallow and easily avoidable and generally affect coire rims and gully tops. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: A mainly dry day with occasional light snow showers. The freezing level will rise to 700 metres. Winds will be moderate North-Westerly. Observed Weather Influences: A clear dry day. Winds were light to moderate North-North-Westerly. The freezing level was around 700 metres. ObservedSnowStability: The old snowpack is well bonded and stable with a thin covering of fresh snow. Isolated deposits of fresh moderately bonded windslab are present on North through East to South-West aspects above 900 metres. These deposits are shallow and easily avoidable. The avalanche hazard is Low.
