ALPTRUTH Avalanches in the area in the last
- Slides: 28
ALPTRUTH Avalanches in the area in the last 48 hours Loading by snow, wind or rain in the last 48 hours Paths, Avalanche paths Terrain Traps Rating, considerable or higher on the current avalanche bulletin Unstable snow: Collapsing or cracking Thaw instability, recent warming of the snow surface 92% of all accidents happen when 3 or more of these things are present.

Loading ALPTRUTH Snow or rain in the last 48 hours An inch an hour for 6 or more hours, making 8” total or more Amplified by terrain features Amplified by high winds
Loading: amplified by wind From The Avalanche Handbook, Mc. Clung and Schaerer
Loading windward Safe Leeward Scary! T. Leonard Photo
ALPTRUTH Paths: Avalanche Paths Large and small Recognizable by a novice Funnels and fans What are the clues?
Path anatomy
Trim line, flag trees
Terrain Traps ALPTRUTH Often near creekbeds, roadcuts Often not as obvoius Consequences of being caught are amplified “nowhere to run”
Terrain Traps: Is there an escape route?

ALPTRUTH Rating: what does the avalanche report say? www. jhavalanche. org 307 -733 -2664 Caution if it is Considerable, High, or Extreme
Rating ALPTRUTH
ALPTRUTH Unstable Snow Collapsing or Whumphing Shooting cracks Heavy over weak

What sound does this make when weighted?
ALPTRUTH Thaw Instability Rapid temperature rise: The FIRST time the temp rises 12 -15 degrees F in 12 hours or less after a long cold spell
Effects of Temperature on a Slab Cold temps = frozen and hard slab Rapid warming and skier triggering General warm temps and settlement Wet snow and the Melt-freeze regime
Thaw Instability: rapid warming
