On Friday there were reports of wet and loose snow in many of the gullies in Glencoe. Snowfalls in the past few days have increased the risk of an avalanche and in places the snow reached up to four feet.
The Avalanche Information Service website warned that the hazard for Saturday would be "considerable - 3+". It stated: "Snowpack stability will remain poor on all steep north-north-west through north to east aspects above 850m where avalanches are likely. Weak cornices will continue to grow over these locations and be prone to collapse."
