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:

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@avalanche.ca.
