The Scottish Avalanche Information Service will begin producing daily avalanche forecasts for the 2014-2015 winter season from this Thursay, 11th December.
Separate forecasts cover the main five operational areas – Lochaber, Glencoe, Creag Meagaidh, the Southern Cairngorms and the Northern Cairngorms. The forecast for Torridon will begin on the 24th Decemeber 2014; this will cover holiday periods and weekends throughout the rest of the season.
The Scottish Avalanche Information Service is funded by SportScotland; it began operating as the Scottish Avalanche Project in 1988 when it covered two areas, the Northern Cairngorms and Glencoe. As well as the daily forecasts, the service website also contains a wealth of information about avalanche hazards on the Scottish hills, and has a form where users can report avalanches.
