Forecast Snow Stability: Areas of unstable windslab will be present mainly on North through East to South-East aspects above 1000 metres. Fragile cornices will be present above these aspects. On other aspects and between 800 and 1000 metres more localised areas of windslab will be present. Below 800 metres stability will be generally good. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.

Forecast Weather Influences: Dry in the evening with light South-Easterly winds and a frost at all levels. Snow showers start overnight at all elevations and continue through the day with rain below 300 metres. Winds will increase to moderate as the snow arrives and then veers to the South. The freezing level will rise during the day to around 400 metres. Observed Weather Influences: It was dry except for one light snow shower with moderate North-North-Westerly winds. The freezing level was around 400 metres. ObservedSnowStability: Areas of poorly bonded windslab are present mainly on North through East to South aspects above 1000 metres. Fragile cornices are present above these aspects. Below 800 metres the snowpack now has a crust on top and stability is good. The avalanche hazard is Considerable.
