The
Candian Avalanche Centre is trying out a new way of communicating with
backcountry travellers. Using photos of actual recent incidents and terrain,
weather, snowpack, and avalanche data, we produced an Avalanche Incident Photo
Analysis. This is currently in the form of a PDF document found on the main page
of the CAC website at www.avalanche.ca. You can access the
document directly by clicking on this link:
http://avalancheinfo.net/Media/200809/200903%20Avalanche%20Incident%20Photo%20Analysis.pdf
While this initiative is in response to the recent rash
of snowmobile fatalities, we hope it will be useful to everyone making decisions
in avalanche terrain. If you have comments, suggestions, or questions about this
initiative, contact Karl Klassen: kklassen@xxxxxxxxxxxx.
