Above 900 metres, areas of unstable windslab will be present on mainly South-West to North-West aspects. These accumulations are not widespread but will remain weakly bonded and lie on a fragile thin crust. Small cornices will remain present on steep Westerly aspects of the highest summits. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
