  • 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.

Executive Summary Washington’s state parks provide a myriad of benefits to both urban and rural environments and nearby residents. Green spaces within state parks provide direct benefits to the populations living in close proximity. For example, the forests within state parks provide outdoor recreational opportunities, and they also help to store water and control flooding during heavy rainfalls, improve air quality, and regulate the local climate.
