Southern Cairngorms

SC 24.2 Localised weakly bonded windslab on NW, N, NE, E, SE asp above 900m. Gully tops and coire rims most affected. Aval Haz Low.

Forecast Snow Stability: Localised accumulations of weakly bonded windslab will persist on North-West through North to South-East aspects above 900 metres. Areas most affected will be coire rims and gully tops, these deposits will be generally shallow, not extensive and avoidable. The older snow patches will be firm, with good stability. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: Winds will be fresh to strong South-Westerlies. The freezing level will be around 600 metres, any new snow will be inconsequential. Observed Weather Influences: A dry and bright day with strong South-Westerly winds. The freezing level was around 600 metres. ObservedSnowStability: Localised, shallow accumulations of weakly bonded windslab have developed in wind sheltered terrain above 900 metres on North-West through North to South-East aspects. These deposits are limited in depth and distribution and mostly affect coire rims and gully tops. Elsewhere the older snow patches have become firm in the cooler temperatures. The avalanche hazard is Low.
