New snow poses avalanche risk

Forescasters are warning that recent heavy snowfalls have raised the risk of avalanches in the Northern Cairngorms and also some slopes in Lochaber. Although the Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) has ended its daily forecasts for the season it continues to monitor snow conditions and is warning of ‘considerable’ risk of localised natural and human-triggered avalanches on higher slopes this weekend.

See the full forecast to see which slopes are likely to be affected on the SAIS website.
