The Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) is about a month and a half through its latest season.
SAIS assesses avalanche hazard in six areas - Lochaber, Glencoe, Creag Meagaidh, Southern Cairngorms , Northern Cairngorms and Torridon.
The reports are usually issued until mid-April.
This season, the various teams have encountered a mix of weather including warmer than usual temperatures but also snow and hard frosts.
More than 30 avalanches have been recorded so far, including slides in Stob Coire nan Lochan in Glen Coe.
