Forecast Snow Stability: Stability will remain good in many places. Hard and icy conditions will be prevalent. At first, localised deposits of windslab on some steep South aspects above 950m. Stronger winds and a change in direction may induce drifting later in the period and lead to new thin and weak windslab development on some steep North to North-East aspects above 950m. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: No precipitation is forecast. Remaining very cold. Light West-North-West winds freshening and becoming South- Westerly, then Southerly much later. Observed Weather Influences: Some overnight snow showers then dry and cold with periods of bright sunshine. Light generally Northerly winds freshened by late morning. ObservedSnowStability: Good stability, hard and icy in many locations. Limited drifting noted from late morning onwards. At the time of reporting localised pockets of soft new windslab were forming on a few steep Southerly aspects above 950m. Areas of shallow moderately bonded older windslab lie on some steep West to North-West facing aspects above the same altitude. The avalanche hazard is Low.
