Forecast Snow Stability: Light snow showers and Southerly winds will not have any significant affect on the existing thin generally stable snow cover. Localised areas of windslab will remain around corrie rims and gully exits where fragile cornices may also exist, These areas should generally be avoidable. In exposed areas wind scouring has occurred and surface icing is a possibility. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
