Forecast Snow Stability: Little change is expected. Isolated deep snowpack instabilities persisting, mainly on North to East aspects above 900 metres. Snowpack weaknesses will remain generally supported by an icy surface crust. Steep gully exits and coire rims most affected. Some isolated instabilities on North-West aspects may also exist. Fragile cornices will be present above wind sheltered aspects. In other locations the snowpack will be generally shallow with good stability. The avalanche hazard will be Low.

Forecast Weather Influences: The freezing level will fluctuate but will be around 400 metres. Partly cloudy but remaining dry and quite cool with fresh to strong Easterly winds throughout. Observed Weather Influences: A dusting of new snow fell last night and during this morning. It was a much cloudier day with poor visibility in the morning. Winds were fresh from an Easterly direction and the freezing level was around 500 metres. Brighter with some isolated clearer spells in the afternoon. ObservedSnowStability: New snow fell mainly above 600 metres these accumulations are currently not significant. The old snowpack continues to consolidate but some instabilities persist mainly on North to East aspects above 900 metres. Some fragile cornices are present above similar wind sheltered aspects. Snow cover on other aspects is generally frozen, shallow and stable. The avalanche hazard is Low.
