Avalanche forecasts for all areas

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Helen Webster

From today (13 December) the SportScotland Avalanche Information Service will be issuing forecasts for the five main climbing and hillwalking areas.

Last weekend forecasts were issued for Lochaber and the Northern Cairngorms. They have now been joined by detailed information for the Southern Cairngorms, Glencoe and Creag Meagaidh. Further details including a guide to reading the forecasts and how to get them on your mobile can be found at the SAIS website.

As always the SAIS also wants to hear reports of avalanches, so if you witness one please get in touch with the SAIS via their website. More information about how to avoid an avalanche can be found on Walkhighlands.
