LO for 12/1. A gradual thaw will consolidate the existing snowpack. Low avalanche hazard. Any cornices will be come unstable.

LO for 12/1. A gradual thaw will consolidate the existing snowpack. Low avalanche hazard. Any cornices will be come unstable.

Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will gradually thaw and consolidate at all levels. Any current instabilities will gradually stabilise during the period. Any cornices will become prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Low

Forecast Weather Influences: It will be a dry day with increasing South-Easterly winds. The freezing level will gradually rise to above summit level during the day Observed Weather Influences: It has been a cold day with some light snow showers and a moderate South-Easterly wind over the summits ObservedSnowStability: The snowpack is generally shallow and stable with little base. Some localised instabilities are present, mainly at the tops of steep and sheltered East, South-East and South aspects above 1000m. Some redistribution is also depositing snow on North-Westerly aspects. The avalanche hazard is Low.
