Forecast Snow Stability: The old snowpack which mainly exists in the higher Northerly and Easterly corries will remain generally stable. Wet snow and sleet overnight may initially form localised surface wet snow instabilities in areas such as gully exits and steep scarp slopes, these areas are not expected to be deep or extensive and with care should be avoidable. Cooler conditions through the day will start to re-freeze the snowpack improving overall stability. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Damp windy conditions with freezing levels around 1300 metres overnight will give some light sleet on the higher tops. By morning the freezing level will lower to 800 metres when it will be mainly dry with fresh Northerly winds. Observed Weather Influences: Colder and clear conditions affected the area overnight, this turned to light drizzle with very light snow above 950 metres this afternoon. The freezing level is around 1000 metres. ObservedSnowStability: The old snowpack which mainly exists in the higher Northerly and Easterly corries is generally stable and remains firm and icy in places. Localised surface instabilities exist on the steepest slopes where new snow has accumulated, these areas are in the main avoidable. The avalanche hazard is Low.
