Forecast Snow Stability: Isolated deposits of moderately bonded windslab will form in wind sheltered areas such as gullies, core rims and crag aprons. Areas most affected will be North through East to South aspects above 900 metres. These deposits are not expected to gain significant depth and in many places will overlie bare ground. Elsewhere remaining old snow patches will be firm, well bonded and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
