Forecast Snow Stability: Areas of fresh unstable windslab will develop mainly on North to East aspects above 1000 metres. Wind sheltered locations such as gullies, corrie rims and ridge flanks will be particularly affected. Fragile cornices will develop mainly above these aspects. The older snowpack will remain generally stable. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
