This compilation of 76 avalanche accident reports teaches by example, both good and bad. Commentaries will help those who spend time in the mountains in winter how to avoid getting caught in an avalanche, or if caught, how to survive. Keywords: Avalanche, avalanche rescue. About the cover: A soft-slab avalanche captured at the instant of release. Having triggered the slide, the skier is desperately trying to keep his balance and ski out to the side. Note the intricate pattern of cracks and the buckling of the slab as it fractures into large angular blocks. Photo by R. Ludwig.

    Proceedings, 2012 International Snow Science Workshop, Anchorage, Alaska THE URBAN AVALANCHE INTERFACE AND COMMUNITY IMPACTS A CASE STUDY: KETCHUM, SUN VALLEY & THE WOOD RIVER VALLEY, IDAHO Janet K. Kellam Former Director Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center, Ketchum, ID ABSTRACT: The reality of dealing with urban development in avalanche terrain can look simple on paper but is challenging and complex in real life. Other factors come into play beyond what is described on avalanche zoning maps. It is not just the home we are trying to protect, but also the lives of those that occupy and service the structure. Increasing population density, more homes built in avalanche terrain and recent avalanche cycles have produced numerous avalanche incidents and management problems throughout the communities of the Wood River Valley. This case study highlights close calls, management efforts and identifies individuals and groups placed at risk during an avalanche event. Other communities may benefit from this knowledge and improve their existing problems or recognize future avalanche issues. Before approval of new development in avalanche terrain local planners need to fully identify all individuals that may be put at risk – these often extend beyond the building’s occupants and may include emergency services, maintenance personnel, neighbors and visitors. In addition, local planners must consider how many locations may be simultaneously affected by avalanche events during large storms. Communities need to have avalanche-educated leaders, decision makers and planners who with the support of avalanche professionals, can accurately identify and understand local avalanche problems. Proactive management strategies can then be developed and applied on a case-by-case basis in order to reduce the increased avalanche risk associated with new development.

    I. INTRODUCTION A Master Plan for the Sun Valley Ski Area was approved by the United States Forest Service in 1989. In 1991, Ecosign completed a study of the Sun Valley Resort area that included several concepts for the development of the Bald Mountain, River Run and Warm Springs base areas and expansions to the Sun Valley Village. This Mountain Master Plan update will be a logical extension of the previously completed and approved 1989 Master Plan, as well as the work completed by Ecosign in 1991. This updated Master Plan will incorporate changes in technology and market conditions that have occurred since the previous work was undertaken. Since the completion of the 1989 Master Plan, substantial lift, trail and snowmaking upgrades were undertaken by the Sun Valley Company. Furthermore, the improvements to the Warm Springs and River Run base areas (1996), have created a significant change in the distribution of skiers accessing Bald Mountain from the River Run base versus the Warm Springs base. .1 Location and Regional Context The Sun Valley Resort and associated ski facilities are located in the Smoky Mountains of south-central Idaho. The resort is located adjacent to the towns of Ketchum and Sun Valley, Idaho. Ketchum is situated on the banks of the Big Wood River. The Big Wood River flows from the Sawtooth Mountains, to the north, through the Wood Valley, and south to the Snake River. Ketchum is approximately 154 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, 82 miles northwest of Idaho Falls, Idaho and 297 miles northwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, as illustrated in Figure 1.

    II. INVENTORY .1 Introduction The inventory stage includes the identification, analysis and mapping of all on- site and off-site factors which may affect the development potential of the Sun Valley ski area. The inventory data includes: the land status, climatic, biophysical, and physiographic characteristics of the study area, as well as an analysis of the existing ski area. The study area identified for mountain planning purposes encompasses about 8,180 acres in and around the Bald Mountain portion of the Sun Valley ski area and 1,030 acres in and around the Dollar Mountain ski area. Through an understanding of the site's existing conditions and natural process, environmentally sensitive areas can largely be avoided and natural development opportunities maximized. As a prelude to discussing the mountain's characteristics, it is appropriate to familiarize the reader with the basic requirements of ski area development. Ski area development is generally considered to be a non-consumptive resource use of the land. The development of ski lifts and ski trails requires the use of approximately 50 percent of the area in small, heavily developed zones. Ski lift right-of-ways are characteristically 40 to 50 feet in width, while ski trails vary between 100 and 200 feet wide. Subsequent to rough grading by practices selected for each site, the trails require fine grooming and in some cases, seeding to establish a grass cover. This grass cover prevents erosion, helps to minimize hazards and damage to the skiers’ and snowboarders’ equipment during low snowpack periods and possible damage to the area's snow grooming fleet.

  • Appendix a Public Involvement
    Appendix A Public Involvement 100 Legal and Administrative Framework (violations, lack of disclosure, decisionmaking, laws, regulations, policy) Concern Statement 100.01 The Forest Service must comply with section 1501.6 regarding cooperating agency involvement throughout the NEPA process. Response to Concern 100.01 The Forests have worked closely with numerous Federal, State, and local governmental agencies throughout the process. Appendix A of the Final Environmental Impact Statement provides a listing of coordination meetings that have occurred since the beginning of the revision process. Concern Statement 100.02 The Forest Service should explain what statute gives it authority to manage by ecosystems. The Forests have a mandate to manage as close to the ground as possible. The authorizing language for ecosystem management comes from the Endangered Species Act, in which land use regulations are authorized only to protect members of listed species from harm. Ecosystem management would greatly expand federal land use regulation at the discretion of federal agencies; the primary problem being the loss of private property without compensation, an even worse situation than under the current species-by-species approach. Response to Concern 100.02 There is not a specific statute the Forest Service uses as an authority to manage by ecosystems. An ecosystems approach was adopted by the agency in 1992 as it provides for a more complete approach to considering the components of the environment (biological, physical, economic and social), how the components interact, and the effects of management actions on those components. Ecosystem management does not expand federal land use regulation nor does it infer any claim to private property.
