The Assistant Chief Constable of @CumbriaPolice says "a national closure of businesses & schools is not an excuse for a holiday". Andrew Slattery says it's largely day-trippers and second home owners making the #LakeDistrict "as busy as a bank holiday" this weekend. #Coronavirus

The first ski touring of the new season got underway today on the Cairngorms. A bluebird day, with fresh powder tracks off the summits in every direction. With the weather set cold till next week, this weekend could be a busy one for winter walkers. 📷 @HDefenderHire

Glorious weather in the Northern Cairngorms yesterday. Very different from early last week. Winter has arrived... #britishmountainguides @Brit_Mt_Guides

Shake out skin & ski. Nothing forgotten, misplaced, needed adjusting or broke. Turns in soft snow were linked. All things considered we’ll call the day good. @Mammut_UK @dynastarskis – at Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France

Getting some turns in after the bad weather, reasonable base starting to form above 1400m @Brit_Mt_Guides @Arcteryx @High_Mt_Guides @BreatheBike #britishmountainguides

50cm of snow fell overnight in the Western French Alps above 2000m. Snowline around 1600 meters with about 10cm at that altitude. Risk of skier triggered avalanches at altitude in the Isere mountain ranges and Southern Alpes.

Looking good for opening in #Valdisere this weekend! This is the Madeleine chair on Solaise (2500m) a couple of days ago. More info on general conditions in the Alps at weathertoski.co.uk/

After 60cm of fresh October snow since the weekend, @Verbier has announced its opening early for the season, this Friday. Then weekends through November...
