GC for 11/3. Older snowpack firm and stable. Very isolated, shallow, unstable windslab on SW to NW aspects above 800m. Low hazard.
GC for 11/3. Older snowpack firm and stable. Very isolated, shallow, unstable windslab on SW to NW aspects above 800m. Low hazard.
Forecast Snow Stability: The older snowpack, which exists mainly in North and East facing corries above 900 metres, will remain well bonded, firm and stable. Very isolated and shallow accumulations of unstable windslab will persist on South-West and West aspects and develop in the afternoon on North-West aspects above 800 metres. These will be generally avoidable. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
Forecast Weather Influences: It will remain dry and very cold. Light Westerly winds will veer Easterly overnight and then veer further to South-Easterly and increase to moderate in the afternoon. Observed Weather Influences: It was a cold, dry day with light Westerly winds. ObservedSnowStability: The older snowpack, which exists mainly in North and East facing corries above 900 metres, remains well bonded, firm and stable. Wind redistribution has formed some very isolated and shallow accumulations of poorly bonded windslab mainly on South-West and West aspects above 800 metres. These are generally avoidable. The avalanche hazard is Low.
