For the remainder of the period this existing windslab will begin to consolidate then redistribution of snow forming new unstable windslab mainly on SW to NW aspects above 800m. These are not expected to be as extensive but will be poorly bonded. Cornices will begin to form above these new aspects. The avalanche hazard will be Considerable
