Every year, reports of avalanches throughout Scotland are collated by SAIS
The Scottish Avalanche Information Service produces a report.
I've been exploring this as a possible context for schools to use the Digimap for Schools service and OS MapStream. Students could explore the locations where the avalanches occurred and relate the risk to the landscape.
They could also use the WEATHERSPARK website to go to the location and explore the weather conditions that there were in the days leading up to the avalanche - when did the snow fall ? was there a warming trend ? was the wind from a particular direction ?
The report for 2012 is available here.
It is available as a PDF download
Thanks to Ollie Bray for the original link to the resource
