Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

By that they mean level 5? Any particular place/slopes/aspect? Not really suprised tbh though, with the weather patterns we've been having here.

FFS! That kind of reporting really gets on my wick. An "avalanche warning" is issued every single day of the winter. The level 4 given (which is far from unusual) doesn't even affect the ski area, which faces north, not south-west. And even if it did, the ski area is managed by the ski patrol. Noone is going to get avalanched skiing (on-piste!) at Cairngorm in the next few days, I'd bet a very large amount of money on that!

Yes but it wouldn't be half as newsworthy if they reported
"Heavy snow at Cairngorm today. All roads open, totally safe for all. Go enjoy yourself"
