Forecast Snow Stability: The current localised areas of moderately bonded windslab will persist in steep North through East to South-East aspects mainly above 800 metres. During the day, fresh windslab will build in steep wind sheltered terrain, mainly Southerly aspects above 700 metres, although amounts will be small. Otherwise, the general snow cover will remain relatively shallow, unconsolidated and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.

Forecast Weather Influences: Dry overnight, followed by light snow pre-dawn, turning to snow showers through the afternoon, with snow to low levels. Moderate North-East winds overnight will gradually freshen, backing North by the end of the forecast period. Remaining cold, with the freezing level fluctuating around 350 metres. Observed Weather Influences: A clear and dry day, plenty of sunshine but clouded over in the afternoon. Light Easterly wind. Freezing level around 350 metres by midday. ObservedSnowStability: Little change observed. The general snow cover is relatively shallow, unconsolidated and stable. However, localised areas of moderately bonded windslab persist on steep terrain, North through East to South-East aspects mainly above 700 metres. Small fragile cornices exist above same locations. Some summit slopes and exposed ridges are scoured, with localised patches of neve and ice. The avalanche hazard is Moderate.
