Slab, Sluffs or dry, and wet avalanches.

shovel, probe, beacon, avalanche cord, recco rescue system.

Any piece of terrain that can increase the risk of an injury for a person caught.

Slap avalanches are most common and occur between an elevation of 25-45 degrees, sluffs occur anything higher then that.

You can see conditions in the area, where to go and not to go.

Fresh snow, wind or rain. skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers.

if they have a tracker, then can be located easily. if not search and rescue has to search, listen, dig. Dogs can help as well.

Ex, an area with heavy trees, or a ridge top.

Shady slopes(north facing) often produce more avalanches.

Dress warm, wear appropriate safety gear.

They can travel up too 200 kilometers per hour. Wind "loads" slopes which is the greatest cause of an avalanche.

At most you will only be able to live for up to ~3 hours.

safety point used as last resort.

People who patrol the hill.

Can effect the reason of an avalanche.

Starting zone, track, and the runout zone.

V-Shaped conveyer belt is most effective.

A large ditch or channel.

if someone falls, one can stay with them and one can get help.

A lot of snow can affect the chances of an avalanche due to the snow pack.

Helps create a more solid pack resulting in a wet avalanche.

Someone who researches and studies a specific thing (avalanches)

The shapes of terrain affect avalanche formation because they have a decisive influence on the wind direction and speed and thus on the extent of the snow drifts.

Gullies, shallow basins and changes of slope inclinations promote avalanches. These terrai

Risks include, concussion, death, broken bones, cuts etc.

Beacon and a reciever.
