Torridon

TO for 23/2. Isolated + shallow unstable windslab on N-E aspects above 700 metres. Old snow and recent soft snow stable. Low hazard.

TO for 23/2. Isolated + shallow unstable windslab on N-E aspects above 700 metres. Old snow and recent soft snow stable. Low hazard.

Forecast Snow Stability: There will be a thin covering of soft snow on all aspects above around 400 metres. Isolated and shallow accumulations of unstable windslab will continue to develop mainly on North to East aspects above 700 metres. Locations where this overlies the patchy older snow, such as gully tops, corrie rims and ridge flanks, will be most affected. The patchy old snow will be firm and stable. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: There will be fresh South-Westerly winds and snow showers. The freezing level will be around 500 metres. Observed Weather Influences: There were snow showers and strong South-Westerly winds. The freezing level was around 500 metres. ObservedSnowStability: The old patchy snow has become firm in the colder temperatures and is stable. Accumulations of poorly bonded windslab, mainly on North-West through North to East aspects above 700 metres are isolated and shallow and do not present a significant hazard. The avalanche hazard is Low.
