Avalanche Activity

Forecast Snow Stability: Less well bonded snow expected to be confined to steeper locations on North-West through North to East aspects above 950m, typically gully exits and coire rims. Cornices of questionable strength will be in place over many of these locations. Some consolidation expected in all snow at lower altitudes. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate
