Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack which mainly exists in the higher North and East facing corries will generally remain well bonded and stable with a firm surface which will be icy in places. Very light snow showers overnight and variable Westerly winds will form isolated shallow surface instabilities mainly around the tops of summit gullies and steep scarp slopes, these areas should generally be avoidable. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
