Avalanche Activity
GC22/1 Milder with drizzle and light rain. Snowpack will soften through day but still icy in sheltered gullies. Avalanche hazard Low
Forecast Snow Stability: Snow cover will remain limited with greatest accumulations to be found in the higher Northerly and Easterly corries. The surface of much of the snowpack will begin to soften as rain and milder conditions take effect, stability will generally remain good. In sheltered locations such as gullies and watercourses a firm icy surface will persist. The avalanche hazard will be Low.
Snowpack Structure
Forecast Weather Influences: Fresh to strong West-South-Westerly winds with drizzle and light rain will affect all altitudes as the freezing level rises above the summits. Observed Weather Influences: Cloudy with light drizzle at the Westerly end of the glen, clear and sunny at the East. Winds were fresh South-Westerly. The freezing level climbed to around 1000 metres. ObservedSnowStability: The snowpack remains firm and icy in many areas. Greatest accumulations are in sheltered gullies and on Northerly to Easterly aspects mainly above 850 metres. Stability is generally good. The avalanche hazard is Low.
