Daily avalanche information reports for the main Scottish hillwalking and climbing areas finished on Sunday 14th April for the 2013 season.
From Friday 19 April weekend avalanche reports will be issued for Northern Cairngorms, Southern Cairngorms, Lochaber, Glencoe and Creag Meagaidh.
During week days the SportScotland Avalanche Information Service recommends the following advice: “Avalanche hazard considerations should always be part of any winter hill goers daily plans and we would recommend that climbers, walkers and off-piste skiers currently venturing into the hills, continue to note snow and weather conditions in respect of any potential avalanche hazard. Be prepared to modify your plans accordingly.”
How long the weekend forecast will be continued for will depend on the weather and snowpack conditions and other factors. Check out the next forecast on Friday at the SAIS website.
