An avalanche brought “car-sized debris” down on a Perthshire road the same day two climbers were injured near Ben Nevis.
Pictures of an avalanche on the A93 road through Glen Clunie, near Glenshee Ski Centre, emerged on social media.
Twitter users posted images of the snow slide.
One post read: “Car-sized avalanche debris today near the A93. Like the dogs, the snow’s bite is definitely worse than the bark.”
The incident on Monday came as a man and a woman were rescued from an avalanche in the Ben Nevis area after falling almost 1,000ft.
Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team helped the pair with the help of a Royal Navy helicopter from HMS Gannet in Prestwick, Ayrshire.
The woman was flown off the mountain and transported to Belford Hospital in Fort William, where she was treated for serious head injuries.
The Perth-based Mountaineering Council of Scotland said it was not remarkable to have avalanches at this time of year, and awareness has improved.
“Due to Twitter and Facebook, everyone who sees avalanches is posting photographs of them so it’s possible for people to be more aware of them,” a spokesman said.
“I was travelling down from Fort William the other day and there were avalanches there, so it’s not unusual.”
The photograph from Glen Clunie was also posted on the website of the Scottish Avalanche Information Service.
It was accompanied with the description: “This photograph was taken 40 minutes from the A93.
“The ground had not been frozen when the snow arrived. The sheer volume of rain and high temperatures was the trigger.”
A staff member at Glenshee Ski Centre confirmed they had seen a “few” recent avalanches due to excess snow and the warm weather.
