Avalanche Activity

Forecast Snow Stability: Consolidating trend expected to continue in all old snow at all altitudes. Some new thin, humid and moderately bonded windslab may form on some steep North West through North to North East aspects above 1000m. New accumulations expected to limited and localised. Pre existing cornices will weaken overnight during a brief milder spell. The avalanche hazard will be Low

Snowpack Structure

Forecast Weather Influences: Only a trace of snow is forecast. Milder at all levels for a time overnight then slightly cooler. Moderate South East winds strengthening later. Observed Weather Influences: A few very light snow showers. Relatively cold summit temperatures throughout. Light to moderate South-South- East winds. ObservedSnowStability: Well consolidated snow in many locations. Below 920m a soft melt crust predominates over a moist well stabilised snowpack. Above this altitude colder, drier relatively well bonded snow is prevalent. Some new thin windslab has formed on a few steep North West through North to North East aspects above 1000m. New accumulations here are weak but localised and easy to avoid. Older small to medium cornices in place above these aspects. The avalanche hazard is Low.
