Wind slab
- All elevations
GC 6/1. Snow cover above 400m mainly stable. Isolated unstable windslab forming on E-S-SW aspects above 850m. Low Hazard.
GC 6/1. Snow cover above 400m mainly stable. Isolated unstable windslab forming on E-S-SW aspects above 850m. Low Hazard.
Forecast Snow Stability: There will be a covering of light snow on most aspects above 400 metres which will be generally stable. Isolated deposits of unstable windslab may form through the period, mainly on East through South to South-West aspects above 850 metres. These accumulations will be mainly shallow and limited in distribution and as such easily avoidable. Areas exposed to the wind will become increasingly scoured. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
Forecast Weather Influences: Generally dry except for a period of light snow during the early hours. Overnight moderate North-Easterly winds will increase becoming strong or very strong Northerly. The freezing level will be around 400 metres throughout. Observed Weather Influences: A dry and mainly overcast day with light North-Easterly winds. The freezing level remained around 400 metres. ObservedSnowStability: A covering of light snow remains on all aspects above 400 metres which is generally stable. Slightly deeper accumulations with localised windslab is present around some coire rims and gully tops. These areas are generally easy to avoid. The avalanche hazard is Low.
