Weaknesses will persist in the deeper deposits of windslab which are present mainly on North to East aspects above 1000 metres Around coire rims and at the top of gullies are most affected. Cornices are present on these aspects above 900 metres, and collapse will remain a threat especially where affected by sunshine. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
