NORTHERN CAIRNGORMS
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON 29/3/94
The existing snowpack is generally stable as a result of various
melt-freeze cycles. Some localised deposits of fresh windblown snow
exist on steep, sheltered E aspects above 900m. Avalanche risk
Category 2 (Low). In thaw conditions cornices at lower elevations are
less stable and liable to collapse.

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR THUR 30/3/94
Moderate snow showers with strong to gale force SW winds are likely
to deposit fresh accumulations of windslab on NE and E facing slopes
and gullies above 900m. Where significant build up occurs a Category
3 (Medium) risk of avalanche will exist.

SUMMARY.
Return to colder conditions and further snow. Category 3 (Medium)
risk of avalanche on NE and E facing slopes and gullies.


GLENCOE
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON WED 30/3/94
There is a widespread refrozen crust on the surface of the snowpack.
Fresh snow has formed soft windslab which is lying mainly on N
through to SE facing slopes above 800m, accumulations greatest in
gullies and hollows. Avalanche Risk Category 3 (Medium Localised).

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR THU 31/3/94
Moderate rainfall at all levels turning to heavy snow above 750m will
persist during the night and daytime with strong SW winds.Windslab
will form mainly on NW through to SE slopes and gullies above 700m,
where avalanches are likely. Avalanche Risk Category 3 (Medium
Localised).

SUMMARY
Avalanches are likely on N through to SE facing slopes above 750m due
to new snow deposits. Avalanche Risk 3 (Medium Localised).


LOCHABER
AVALANCHE RISK AT 1500 ON WED 30/3/94
A thaw at all levels has produced a moist snowpack. Accumulations of
wet slab are greatest on E aspects above 1000m and these deposits
show marginal stability. Below 1000m the snowpack is generally
stable. The avalanche risk is Category 4 (High Localised).

AVALANCHE RISK OUTLOOK FOR THU 31/3/94
Colder conditions overnight and tomorrow will bring gale force SW
winds and fresh snow above 700m. Accumulations of unstable snow will
form on N and NE aspects above 800m where avalanches are likely.
Cornices will reform and be unstable. The avalanche risk will be
Category 3 (Medium).

SUMMARY.
Unstable snow forming on N and NE aspects above 800m where avalanches
are likely. Cornices prone to collapse. Category 3 (Medium).
