Abstract: Scotland can be an exasperating place to run avalanche education courses. One day you can be wading around in thigh deep, highly unstable wind slab. The next day a thaw will have stripped the hill bare leaving a very stable but ultimately boring snowpack. A flexible approach, a good imagination and a sense of humor is a pre-requisite for all avalanche instructors working in the Highlands of Scot/and. This paper looks at some of the teaching methods we have adopted to help us run avalanche education courses in Scotland's fickle maritime climate.
