Forecast Snow Stability: Areas of moderately bonded windslab will continue to develop in steep, wind sheltered locations, on North-West, through North to East aspects above 850 metres. These instabilities will mainly affect gully tops, coire rims and ridge flanks. Cornices will develop above these aspects. Elsewhere the old snowpack will be well bonded and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
