Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will continue to thaw and deplete in the milder temperatures. While remaining wet it will continue to consolidate and be generally stable with only some isolated wet snow instabilities remaining on very steep terrain mainly on North through East to South-East aspects above 750 metres. Ridge crests and wind exposed slopes have little or very shallow snow cover. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
