Forecast Snow Stability: Unstable windslab will continue to develop and gain depth through the period. Greatest accumulations will be on West to North aspects above 1000 metres with more localised deposits on South-West and North-East aspects and at lower elevations. Due to variable nature of recent winds isolated pockets of windslab possible on any aspect. Fragile cornices will continue to build. The older snowpack will be well bonded and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.

Forecast Weather Influences: Snow above around 800 metres, heaviest during the morning. Gale force mainly Easterly winds, but with some variability in direction, will decrease slightly through the day. Observed Weather Influences: A few snow showers above around 800 metres on variable but mostly East-South-Easterly Gale force winds. ObservedSnowStability: The older snowpack is well bonded and stable with a firm breakable crust. Localised deposits of unstable windslab possible on most aspects due to variations in wind. Greatest windslab accumulations are in gullies and coire rims on West to North aspects above 1000 metres. Fragile cornices in these locations. The avalanche hazard is Moderate.
