Snowmobilers will be pounding the slopes for another few months and here are some Avalanche Awareness Tips that could save a life! (fernie.com)
1) Watch for recent avalanches - don't play on similar, unreleased slopes. (fernie.com)
4) If unsure of the snow stability, favour slopes that have recently avalanched over those that have not yet slid. (fernie.com)
The direction is hugely significant as it will determine where the snow will be deposited, and which slopes will be likely to avalanche (leeward side of a slope, or cross loading of gullies). (riseandsummit.co.uk)
Aspect - leewards slopes collect more snow (these can also exist on ridges and be cross-loaded), hence would be more prone to avalanches. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
Shape - watch out for convex shaped slopes over steep ground, as the upper part will be between 35° and 40°, highly prone to avalanches. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
On Saturday riders triggered two avalanches 3-5 feet deep on heavily wind loaded slopes ( photo , photo ). (mtavalanche.com)

The avalanche danger is HIGH on wind-loaded slopes and CONSIDERABLE on all others. (mtavalanche.com)

Signs of instability - recent avalanche debris, cracks appearing across a slope, 'whoomping' noises as you walk across the snow, snowpits showing unstable snow (snowpits only show what the snow is doing where the pit is dug, it is not a representation of the slope). (riseandsummit.co.uk)
This means signs of instability such as recent avalanches and collapsing are scarce, but it is possible to trigger a large avalanche. (mtavalanche.com)

By knowing a little about the science of snow and the way avalanches are formed, we can give ourselves the best chance of being able to read the warning signals, and thus reduce the threat they pose. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
Let's start with a general description of snow and the types of avalanches. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
Loose snow avalanches are usually characterised as a point release or a slough, and involve unconsolidated layers of surface snow. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
Slab avalanches occur when one or more layers of cohesive snow release as a unit. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
Wind - 15 - 60 mph transports snow, anything higher and the snow will often disperse beyond the starting zones of avalanche paths, depositing it further down the slope. (riseandsummit.co.uk)
With the warmer weather and the heavier snow, the Northwest Avalanche Center wants people who enjoy the great outdoors to know before you go. (washingtonstatenews.net)
NWAC says people trapped under the snow of an avalanche have an 80-90% chance of survival if they're rescued within 10 minutes. (washingtonstatenews.net)
An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a slope, such as a hill or mountain. (wikipedia.org)
Primarily composed of flowing snow and air, large avalanches have the capability to capture and move ice, rocks, and trees. (wikipedia.org)
Avalanches occur in two general forms, or combinations thereof: slab avalanches made of tightly packed snow, triggered by a collapse of an underlying weak snow layer, and loose snow avalanches made of looser snow. (wikipedia.org)
After being set off, avalanches usually accelerate rapidly and grow in mass and volume as they capture more snow. (wikipedia.org)
If an avalanche moves fast enough, some of the snow may mix with the air, forming a powder snow avalanche. (wikipedia.org)
this is typical of wet snow avalanches or avalanches in dry unconsolidated snow. (wikipedia.org)
Slab avalanches form frequently in snow that has been deposited, or redeposited by wind. (wikipedia.org)
The crown and flank fractures are vertical walls in the snow delineating the snow that was entrained in the avalanche from the snow that remained on the slope. (wikipedia.org)
The largest avalanches form turbulent suspension currents known as powder snow avalanches or mixed avalanches, a kind of gravity current. (wikipedia.org)
In contrast to powder snow avalanches, wet snow avalanches are a low velocity suspension of snow and water, with the flow confined to the track surface (McClung, 1999, p. 108). (wikipedia.org)
Our winter and avalanche safety course materials are based on solid science and practice by professionals, specifically including information from International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) and other snow workshop proceedings and research, advanced college education, avalanche training, and expert personal experience.
