Windslab development

2nd December 2025

Overnight snowfall above around 850m and gale force mainly South-Westerly winds had deposited unstable windslab in sheltered locations. Greatest accumulations lie on North-West through North to East aspects above 950 metres. Drifting continued through the day onto these aspects.  This windslab will persist tomorrow.
