Ode from an Avalanche Charlie Hagedorn Is a Physicist and Backcountry Skier from My Name Is Avalanche, and You Must Try— Seattle, WA last snow flake of winter storm creates instability 38.2 DECEMBER 2019 photo Art Burrows TOOLS FOR THE SEASON In the above photo you can see only a small portion of a massive D5 avalanche that ran off Garrett Peak above East Snowmass Creek overnight March 14–15, 2019. The full extent of the avalanche broke around two miles wide and ran over 2200 vertical feet to the creek bottom. In the right photo, this natural slide (HS-N-D3-O) near Stanley, Idaho released in late January during last winter’s first significant loading event. The thickest portions of the crown were over 15 feet tall. This avalanche released on a shady slope below Williams Peak in the northern Sawtooths on the same day two skiers self-rescued themselves from full burials 50 miles to the south in the mountains near Ketchum. photo Tanner Haskins //// AvAlAnche hAzArd - control MAnAgeMent One partner, many solutions TAS is the world leader in prevention systems for avalanche risk management.

FROM A3 FROM THE EDITOR: Tools for the Upcoming Season BY LYNNE WOLFE SAW season just came to an end, leaving me simultaneously tired and energized. We work remotely on my A3 avalanche team. Dan K is in Bozeman, but he’s pretty quick on reply with texts or phone calls. Kate Koons is just down the road in Victor, but she’s been on the road in in the air a lot this autumn, meeting with course providers and guiding the Pro education program through growing pains and vision clarification. When she and I get together it’s a mile a minute, as you can imagine, and while we each seek out the other’s insights, overlap in our schedules is rare. Our graph- ic designer McKenzie Long and I also work remotely, mostly via Dropbox. I admire her creativity and vision so much; every so often we talk on the phone and we’ve met in person once. I encounter you, my readers and authors, through the pages of TAR and the phosphorescence of email. When we connect in person, across the A3 table at a SAW or over a beer, I thrive on your energy, your ideas, and your experience. I want to know what you think about a presentation or how At the pre-NSAW party at 20 Corners Brewery I got to visit with my dear friend and continual inspiration Patty you used a TAR article in your practice. You inspire me, and in turn I want to share that inspiration. Morrison. Now if only I had opened my eyes for the Did you go to a local SAW this autumn?

  • AVALANCHE! Yell It Out! by Dave Galvin
    AVALANCHE! Yell it out! by Dave Galvin We live and recreate in the corner of the globe (do globes really have corners?) with the largest snowfall on record (world record is held by Mt. Baker Ski Area @1,140 inches or 95 feet in 1998‐‘99, followed by Mt. Rainier ‐ Paradise@1,120 inches or 93 feet in 1971‐’72). Such snow accumulation, especially in big dumps such as happened over the weekend of February 17‐19, 2012, often leads to snow sliding downhill unexpectedly. With often deadly results. Avalanche photo from Wikipedia. Lawine.jpg @ Click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lawine.jpg . Big Avalanches - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0RWLxOFGLY ► 1:54► 1:54 and watch the 2‐minute clip. Turn off the annoying music that accompanies the hair‐raising video (the music implies a “yee‐ha, ride‐‘em” attitude that is disrespectful of those who have died). If your palms don’t sweat by the ending, you don’t have a pulse. Note one thing in the film clip above: how fast that snow was moving. You cannot out‐ski or out‐board the downhill momentum of an avalanche – one’s only hope, once caught, is to get off to the side, or to ride it out while staying near the surface and hope you have helpers nearby. The goal is to not get caught. More about hope below. An avalanche is “a sudden, drastic flow of snow down a slope, occurring when either natural triggers, such as loading from new snow or rain, or artificial triggers, such as snowmobilers, explosives or backcountry skiers, overload the snowpack.”1 Here in the Northwest, we typically have what are called “slab avalanches,” which react to a stress point and result in a whole section of snow (a slab) to break free and start to move downhill.

  • Chapter 3: the Affected Environment
    Chapter 3: The Affected Environment 3.0 THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.0.1 Introduction Chapter 3 – The Affected Environment describes the physical and biological environment (e.g., water resources, wildlife, etc.) as well as the human environment (e.g., social and economic factors, recreation, etc.), which may be affected by the range of alternatives, as described in Chapter 2 - Alternatives. Much of the information on the affected environment is compiled from detailed technical reports and other analyses prepared by the USFS and consultants. Some of these reports are attached to this FEIS as appendices. All reports are available for review as part of the Analysis File maintained for this project at the MBSNF Supervisor’s Office. References cited in this FEIS are provided in Chapter 5 - References. 3.0.2 Analysis Area The “analysis area” (referred to as the “Study Area” throughout this document) varies by resource area. The Study Area includes all public (USFS) lands as well as private land owned by Ski Lifts, Inc. and other land holders. When discussing individual projects within the Study Area, the following terms are used to distinguish the different locations within the SUP: Summit East, Summit Central, and Summit West, are collectively referred to as “The Summit.” Alpental, when discussed individually, is referred to as “Alpental.” All four ski areas are collectively referred to as “The Summit-at-Snoqualmie.” Figure 3.0-1, Study Area illustrates the boundaries of the Study Area, including The Summit and Alpental. Figure 3.0-2, 5th Field Watersheds illustrates the boundaries of the two 5th field watersheds used in this FEIS analysis: the South Fork Snoqualmie River Watershed (S.F.
