Avalanche Activity
TO for 20.3. The snowpack will be firm, well bonded and stable. Some surface softening where exposed to the sun. Low Hazard.
Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will remain generally well bonded and stable. Above 800 metres any surface softening of the snow will firm up as the freezing level lowers. Below this level some surface softening can be expected on aspects directly exposed to the sun. Best snow cover remains on North-West through East to South aspects above 750 metres. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
