CM for 2.3.24. Localised windslab on N,NE,E Aspects above above 900m, Elsewhere soft and stable. Hazard Moderate.

Forecast Snow Stability: Localised accumulations of wind slab will be present above 900m mainly on Northerly to Easterly aspects, with coire rims, gully tops and scarp slopes most affected. Fresh cornices, overhang these aspects and are new and fragile. Some insignificant limited redistribution onto W aspects may occur. Below this level, there will be a thin cover mostly lying on bare ground. The old snowpack that lies predominantly on N to E aspects will be firm and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate

Forecast Weather Influences: A mostly dry day is expected with the occasional snow shower in the early hours, and around midday. Winds will be fresh to light North- East to Easterly. Another cold day with a freezing level generally around 600m. Observed Weather Influences: A bright and sunny day with light northerly winds, Dry with a freezing level around 400 m ObservedSnowStability: There is a fresh thin covering of light soft and stable snow on most aspects above 500m lying on bare ground. At higher elevations, localised accumulations of wind slab have formed mostly above 900m on Northerly to Easterly aspects, with wind sheltered coire rims, gully tops and scarp slopes most affected. Fresh cornices, overhang these aspects and are new and fragile. The old snowpack on same aspects is firm and stable. The avalanche hazard is Moderate
