Forecast Snow Stability: The older snowpack will remain well bonded and stable in all locations. Isolated deposits of shallow windslab will persist at the top of some steep North-East to South-East aspects above 1100 metres. These deposits will be confined to wind sheltered areas such and gully tops and coire rims and gradually consolidate through the day. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
