Date set for Scotland's new avalanche forecasting season Last season, the Scottish Avalanche Information Service recorded its fewest snow slides in 37 years.

It is, of course, snowing heavily right now- just because the SAIS observers aren't out doesn't mean there's no hazard....

Yesterday we wrapped up an excellent winter skills week in the Cairngorms for Adventure Expeditions. I love sharing the mountains, especially with young people. The conditions threw us a few curveballs- but often that's where the learning is!

Cracking stomp up to Coire Lan for a picnic and blether with these two 🥰. Ace after a week of meetings, to get out in the snow before Storm Bert washes it into the sea. Doggo did v. well. (Biggest hill he's done since getting hit by a car last year. ) He does love the snow. 😍❄️😀
