Forecast Snow Stability: Areas of unstable windslab will persist mainly on North through East to South-West aspects above 900 metres. During the period further unstable windslab will develop on West to North aspects above 700 metres due to wind redistribution. The older snowpack will remain firm and stable. Recent cornices will be fragile. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.

Forecast Weather Influences: South-East winds increase overnight to become gale force during the day. It will remain dry and cold. Observed Weather Influences: It was a cold, dry, sunny day with moderate North-Easterly winds. ObservedSnowStability: Poorly bonded windslab is present on many aspects with North to East aspects above 900 metres most affected. Recent cornices are fragile. The older snowpack is firm and stable. One human triggered avalanche recorded on an East aspect at 1200 metres. The avalanche hazard is Considerable.
