Forecast Snow Stability: Little change in snowpack with a few areas of moderately and poorly bonded windslab remaining. These will mainly be in locations sheltered from the strong-winds. Most affected will be West through North to North-East aspects above 900 metres. Some fragile cornices will exist in some, but not all, gully tops. In exposed windward locations the snowpack will be scoured, icy and stable. Below 900 metres the snowpack will be damp and stability will be better. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate
