The Sport Scotland Avalanche Information Service has resumed business for the 09/10 Winter Season.
Avalanches regularly occur in the Scottish mountains, sometimes with tragic consequences and the valuable work carried out by the SAIS undoubtably saves lives every year.
Supported by Mountain Equipment, Avalanche assessors will be out daily for the next four months, assessing snow conditions and providing daily reports for 5 of the main mountain areas in Scotland. Reports are available for Northern Cairngorms, Southern Cainrgorms, Lochaber, Glencoe and Creag Meagaidh.
In addition to the reports (which can be found at www.sais.gov.uk) assessors will also be posting daily blog reports on their days work. Live updates to these blogs can be found on our Blog updates further down this page.
