Avalanche Seminar

SAFOS is the Snow and Avalanche Foundation of Scotland, and they organised this Avalanche Seminar in Edinburgh, at EICA Ratho. There were educational, informative, sometimes mindblowing, and current thinking presentations from Mark Diggins (SAIS Co-ordinator), Ed Chard (Jagged Globe), John Allen (MBE, Scottish Mountain Rescue), Mark Williams (Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Science) , Dave Mcleod (Professional Climber) and Stefan Harvey (WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche research).

It was a great weekend and I learnt a great deal. Make sure you look at the SAIS website and keep safe with all your snow sports this winter. Make sure you've considered the avalanche risk, and done all you can to minimise any risk to you and others, before you step on snow this winter...

Buachaille Etive Mor on my way home last night. (Can you spot the rescue helicopter in the sky, after just leaving Curved Ridge - on it's way to Fort William).
