Forecast Snow Stability: Further development of poorly bonded windslab is expected on North-West through North to East aspects above 900 meters. West and South-East aspects will also be affected due to cross-loading. Fragile cornices will continue to build on these same aspects. Below 900 meters the snowpack will be generally stable. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.
