Forecast Snow Stability: Localised areas of unstable windslab will persist in wind sheltered locations mainly on South-East to South-West aspects above 900 metres with some fragile cornices above these aspects. The patchy older snowpack will remain firm and the thin covering of fresh snow on other aspects and at lower elevations will be generally stable. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
