Avalanche Summary
You can trigger a small slab avalanche where you encounter around a foot or more of freshly wind-drifted snow on steep north through east to southeast-facing slopes at upper elevations. Even a small amount of moving snow can knock you off your feet and carry you into hazardous terrain further down the mountain.
Researchers Ian McCammon and Sara Boilen are developing new tools for managing human factors for backcountry skiers and boarders. This survey asks about personal experiences with human factors and will take 7 - 8 minutes to fill out. Link is HERE. Thank you for your help!
