Winter is Coming : Avalanche Awareness Leaflet & Forecasts

The growing popularity of winter climbing and hill-walking, along with the growth of interest in ski touring and off-piste skiing, means that more people than ever are at risk and sadly each year people are injured or die as a result of avalanche in the Scottish mountains.

Many of these accidents would have been avoidable, given greater awareness of the hazards.

Sport Scotland have collaborated with assorted agencies to produce the Be Avalanche Aware leaflet which may help increase awareness.
