In reply to Kimberley:
Thanks for posting this, its a good learning point for people like me who are inexperienced in winter conditions. Here is the SAIS report
Northern Cairngorms
Considerable - Natural avalanches may occur, in some cases large, in isolated cases very large are possible. A single person load is likely to trigger an avalanche on some steep slopes. Good hazard evaluation, visibility and route selection important especially in steep locations as indicated. Careful group management and good spacing is vital. Use mountain features (ridges and scoured slopes etc) to travel safely.
