NORTHERN CAIRNGORMS
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1400 ON SUN 23/1/94
Recent gale force NW winds and snow showers have created areas of
unstable windslab on E thru SE-facing slopes and gullies. Significant
scouring and drifting noted on the plateau. Category 4 (High) risk of
avalanche. Avalanche triggered on E flank of Cairngorm.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR MON 24/1/94
Strong to gale force W to NW winds - moderating by morning - combined
with snow showers will continue to load unstable windslab onto E thru
SE-facing slopes and gullies where avalanches will occur. Pockets of
marginally stable windslab may form high on NE-facing slopes and
gullies much later in the period as the winds become SW. Category 4
(High) risk of avalanche.

SUMMARY.
Category 4 (High) risk of avalanche on E thru SE-facing slopes and
gullies; windslab build up possible on NE-facing gullies later.

Strong W winds and snow have formed localised areas of windslab,
mainly on easterly aspects. The avalanche risk is Category 3 (Medium
Localised).
