Avalanche Activity

Forecast Snow Stability: The remaining snow will be firm and stable. It lies mainly around coire rims, on steep upper slopes and at the tops of some gullies above 850 metres on North to East aspects. The greatest extent lies in the Northern Fannaichs. The firm snow will have serious run outs with potentially serious consequences in the event of a slip or trip. There is insufficient snow to warrant issuing an avalanche hazard category.
