Forecast Snow Stability: Redistribution of existing snow this evening will deposit unstable windslab mainly on South-East to South-West aspects above 900 metres. During the day further redistribution will deposit unstable windslab mainly on North through East to South-East aspects above 900 metres. Accumulations of windslab gaining depth are not expected to be extensive, but where they do will be weak. Fresh cornices will be fragile. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate

Forecast Weather Influences: Strong Northerly winds this evening will become moderate South-Westerly overnight before strengthening to strong during the day and veering Westerly. It is expected to be dry until the end of the afternoon when there will be a little snow above 1100 metres.
