1. SNOWPACK Some accidents happen when people fail to recognize unstable snow conditions or heed the warning signs.

2. These include: the age of the snowpack, its impurity content, the sun's elevation, the viewing angle of the satellite instrumentation, etc.

3. Snowpack: Looking for feedback for persistent slabs in the type of terrain we’ve been warning about: shallow/previously Avalanched, previously windloaded

4. A lumped-parameter mathematical model is formulated to represent the physical processes of the accumulating and melting snowpack within a drainage basin.

5. “The Avalanche danger in the Northern San Juan Mountain Zone is in ‘Considerable’ hazard and due to the unstable snowpack we are experiencing natural and mitigated Avalanche activity

6. This study investigates the energy balance and ground thermal characteristics associated with frost penetration and snowpack development during the 1975 and 1976 winters at two adjacent sites near Guelph.

7. The heavy snowfall and sustained winds may be too much for some of our northerly terrain with a creaky snowpack; particularly areas that have previously Avalanched to near the ground this year
