GC11/4 Dry+mild Snowpack generally stable localised surface instabilities gullies+headwalls. Cornices prone to collapse. Low Hazard.

Forecast Snow Stability: With mild and mainly dry conditions expected general snowpack stability will be good in most areas. Localised surface instabilities will exist in summit gully exits and around corrie rims but these areas are not expected to be deep or extensive and should in the main be avoidable. Cornices will be prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: It will remain mainly dry with some showers possible by evening. Winds will be East-South-East fresh initially strengthening to gale/severe gale by the end of the day. The freezing level will rise above the summits overnight remaining there through the day. Observed Weather Influences: A dusting of new snow affected higher slopes in the area overnight, today has been dry, calm and settled. The freezing level has risen to around 1000 metres. ObservedSnowStability: The snowpack is generally stable with localised areas of windslab in the tops of summit gullies and around wind sheltered corrie rims, cornices are fragile. The avalanche hazard is Low.
