They are likely to produce avalanches during or following cold winter like conditions

1) Wind
2) Loading of a slope by snowfall
3) Clumps of snow falling off trees and rocks
4) Cornice's falling
5) Warming temperatures or rain

1) Transceiver
2) Shovel
3) Probe

Slab avalanche

1) It looks like a bowl
2) They get less steep as you ski them

3) they are safer but can still slide

They are most likely to produce an avalanches in warm spring like conditions

30-45 degrees

A groups of trees or a large rock can provide limited shelter from avalanches.

1) fences
2) Signs

They make injury or burial more likely, make escape from an approaching avalanche more difficult.

1) Narrow ridges are safer but may be an issue if they are wind loaded and have cornices.
2) use benches and avoid steep slopes

They receive less snow and may be left with scoured appearance.

1) It is used to pinpoint the location of the buried person
2) To find someone buried in a avalanche

1) the direction the slope faces
2) Clumps of snow that have fallen from trees indicate there has been wind or warming since the last snow.

They are only good to ski if the conditions are good.

200 km/hr

-located at the top of the path
-Often steeper than the path
-little vegetation
-Run out- the bottom of the path where the snow settles

10%

1) Is the terrain prone to avalanche danger
2) Is the snow stable

1) Low
2) Moderate
3) Considerable
4) High
5) extreme

1) Convex slopes get steeper as you ski them
2) They look like they are round
3) They care often trigger points
4) They have pressure pulling down on them

- Monitor the weather
- take a more advanced level course
- Go carefully, start small and make your way up

The conveyor method

1) dig a pit
2) use spotters
3) spread out

They can provide cover and act as anchors
