Abstract: Applications of small computers in snow safety and avalanche forecasting can be divided into categories like (a) compiling weather and snowpack history, (b) on-line data acquisition and (c) real-time analysis. As an example of real-time analysis, this paper describes a program that combines overnight snowfall and wind speed data with a file of slidepath topography to point out starting zones most likely wind-loaded.
