A significant thaw
19th December 2020
Covid-19
The Scottish Avalanche Information Service would recommend that those wishing to enjoy the winter mountains refer to Mountaineering Scotland and Scottish Government advice regarding Covid-19 and outdoor activities.
Heavy rain yesterday and during the night has had a big impact on the snow cover, and the burns are in full spate. Â Coire back walls and slopes above 950 metres hold the most snow. Â Elsewhere the ground is mostly bare with ribbons of snow in hollow areas. Â The boulder fields on coire floors need careful navigation as the snow is soft and deep in places. Â Burns buried beneath snowfields are also a hazard.
