The snowpack remained firm in most locations throughout the day. There are isolated pockets of unstable windslab on South to West aspects above 950m. Whilst these are mostly shallow and avoidable, they could take you off your feet. With firm and serious run outs, this may have serious consequences. Â Little change is expected within the snowpack over the next 24 hours.
