Forecast Snow Stability: Little change is expected. Recently deposited windslab will continue to slowly consolidate in the settled conditions, though weaknesses will remain especially in accumulations on steeper slopes. Greatest accumulations will lie on North through East to South aspects above 900 metres. Fragile cornices will be present above these aspects. Windslab with weaknesses will also lie on South-West aspects. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.

Forecast Weather Influences: Winds are expected to be very light, generally Easterly. It will be freezing at most levels. It is expected to be dry throughout, though a few snow showers are possible in the afternoon. Observed Weather Influences: It was a dry cold day, freezing at all levels.

ObservedSnowStability: Recently deposited windslab is slowly consolidating in the settled conditions, though weaknesses remain especially in accumulations on steeper slopes. Greatest accumulations lie on North through East to South aspects above 900 metres. Fragile cornices are present above these aspects. Windslab with weaknesses also lies on South-West aspects. There is a widespread thin melt freeze crust below 800m overlain by windslab on East to South aspects above 700 metres. The avalanche hazard is Moderate.
