GLENCOE
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON THU 17/3/94
There is a widespread moderate/deep cover of fresh snow in N facing
corries, which has formed  as soft windslab above 600m mainly on N
through to E facing slopes. Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High). Large
cornices have formed above N through to E facing slopes.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR FRI 18/3/94
Snow showers and fresh/strong W wind will give further accumulation
of windslab on N through to SE facing slopes and in all gullies and
hollows in N facing corries above 600m. Avalanche Risk Category 4
(High). Avalanches will occur where deep windslab exists.

SUMMARY.
Avalanches will occur in N facing corries due to the widespread
accumulation of windslab. Avalanche Risk Category 4 (High).


LOCHABER
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON THU 17/3/94
Large areas of very unstable snow exist on NE, E and SE facing
slopes. Avalanche activity observed in eastern corries of Aonach Mor.
The avalanche risk is Category 5 (Very High).

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR FRI 18/3/94
Continuing snowfall and WNW winds will further load existing unstable
snow, on NE, E and SE facing slope. Avalanches will occur in these
areas. Large soft snow cornices will be prone to collapse. The
avalanche risk is expected to remain at Category 5 (Very High).

SUMMARY.
Large areas of very unstable snow on all easterly aspects, where
avalanches will occur. Category 5 (Very High)


NORTHERN CAIRNGORMS
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON THU 17/3/94
Moderate NW winds and new snowfall have created further areas of
unstable windslab, mainly on E and S facing slopes. Many N facing
slopes have been scoured, although localised areas of marginally
stable slab remain. Much loose snow avalanche activity observed on E
and S facing slopes above 900m. Category 4 (High) risk of avalanche.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR FRI 18/3/94
Overnight snow showers and moderate WNW winds becoming westerly will
continue into Friday. This will lead to further build-up of poorly
stabilised slab and loose snow mainly on E facing slopes and gullies.
Avalanches will occur on all slopes of E and S aspects. Category 4
(High) risk of avalanche in these areas.

SUMMARY.
Continuing Category 4 (High) risk of avalanche on E to S facing
slopes and gullies where avalanches will occur.
