Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center
Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center 2006-2007 Annual Report Report prepared by Mark Moore, Kenny Kramer and Garth Ferber A partnership between the USDA Forest Service, Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, National Park Service, National Weather Service, Pacific Northwest Ski Area Association, Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Snowpark and Snowmobile Programs, USDA Forest Service Fee Demo programs, Title II RAC programs, Ski Schools, Friends of the Avalanche Center and others. United States Forest Service Department of Pacific Agriculture Northwest Region Cover Photo credits: This photo of a snow roller (snow pinwheel, snow donut) was taken along the east slopes of the northern Washington Cascades in Mid-March of 2007 by Mike Stanford, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) avalanche control technician, during an avalanche control and reconnaissance mission on Washington Pass. While snow rollers are common occurrences during spring time warming in many mountainous regions, most rollers are observed as a solid wheel and often end up as wheel fragments as they break apart in the rolling process. A mature snow roller of this size without the inner middle is less common, especially totally intact like this one is. Most rollers like the one shown initially form through warming and melting of near surface snow. With surface warming, a small clump of snow may release from steeper terrain, warming rocks or snow laden tree boughs. With time the small unstable mass begins to roll and gather concentric rings of surface snow as it descends down slope. The rolling action may produce mechanical separation of the less dense middle (formed initially when compression of the snow is slight) from the more compact outer edges (formed with more compressive forces as the wheel increases in size), producing the snow donut pictured. -

Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center 2007-2008 Annual Report Report prepared by Mark Moore, Kenny Kramer and Garth Ferber A partnership between the USDA Forest Service, Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, National Park Service, National Weather Service, Pacific Northwest Ski Area Association, Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Snowpark and Snowmobile Programs, USDA Forest Service Fee Demo programs, Title II RAC programs, Ski Schools, Friends of the Avalanche Center and others. Forest Service United States Department of Pacific Agriculture Northwest Region Cover Photo credits: This large climax slide in White River Canyon to the south of Mt Hood Meadows Ski Area occurred as a result of sustained high winds and heavy loading from late January through early February, 2008. During the thirteen days leading up to this February 8 event, the base of nearby Mt Hood Meadows Ski Area recorded over 160 inches of new snow, along with many periods of sustained very strong winds (averaging 30-50 with higher gusts). Sustained low freezing levels (2-3000 feet or lower) for several weeks prior to the event rose significantly on the day of this avalanche, reaching above 6000 feet. The photo shows Asa Mueller, Mt Hood Meadows Pro Patrol traversing under the 6+ meter crown. It is thought that this large slab was triggered by an even larger (10+ meter) cornice fall (see Figure 28). Photo courtesy Tighe Stoyanoff, Mt Hood Meadows Pro Patrol. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Cover Photo credits: ......................................................................................2 -

Mountaineering and skiing make up the largest part of the col lection, but travel, photography, nature study, and other allied subjects are well represented. After the period 1915 to 1926 in which The Mountaineers received books from the Bureau of Associate Mountaineering Clubs of North America, the Board of Trustees has continuously appropriated money for the main tenance and expansion of the library. The map collection is a valued source of information not only for planning trips and climbs, but for studying problems in other areas.
