Avalanche Information for the Scottish Mountains

Early season snow

Over the weekend of 14/15 November, fresh snow is expected above around 1000m with moderate to strong SW winds. During the w/c 16th November, a mainly cold and dry spell is expected.
Localised instabilities will develop with the fresh snowfall and where these reach a significant depth, care and good judgement should be exercised.

Avalanche forecast provision

If there is sufficient early season snow, we will start producing avalanche forecasts in North Cairngorm from Friday 20th November and in Lochaber from Friday 27th November.

We will start our full service over all 6 areas from Thursday 17th December.
