Forecast Snow Stability: Further drifting is possible but little change is expected in the snowpack. Some deposits of soft unstable windslab will remain mainly at the top of slopes and particularly gullies with a North-East through East to South aspect mainly above 900 metres. These are generally not expected to be particularly extensive. Unstable cornices will exist in these locations. On other aspects, and at lower elevations, stability will be better. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
