Forecast Snow Stability: Weakly bonded windslab will continue to develop gaining depth becoming more widespread. West to North aspects above 900 metres will be most affected, SW and NE aspects may also be affected due to cross loading and wind variability. Fragile cornices will develop above these aspects. Wind exposed slopes will be scoured with better stability. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable.

Forecast Weather Influences: The freezing level will be around 800 metres. Snow showers through the period, heaviest in the morning falling mainly above 650 metres. Winds will be Strong mostly Easterly but occasionally East-South-Easterly.

The freezing level was around 800 metres. Winds were variable but mostly East-South-Easterly with another morning of poor visibility. ObservedSnowStability: Further deposits of moderately bonded windslab are present in wind sheltered areas such as gully tops and coire rims. West through North to North-Easterly aspects above 900 metres are most affected. Cornices are fragile on same aspects. Elsewhere the snowpack stability is generally good. The avalanche hazard is Moderate.
