GC for 2/2 Localised windslab, SW, W, NW, N, NE and E above 850 metres. Mostly steep slopes, gullies, coire rims. Moderate Hazard.

GC for 2/2 Localised windslab, SW, W, NW, N, NE and E above 850 metres. Mostly steep slopes, gullies, coire rims. Moderate Hazard.

Forecast Snow Stability: Localised areas of, generally shallow, fresh unstable windslab will develop on South-West through West to North aspects above 850 metres. Recent windslab deposits on North-East and East aspects will also persist. Areas most affected will be steep slopes, gullies and coire rims. Older moderately bond windslab will also be present in the above areas. Fragile cornices above all these aspects. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
