Abstract: The paper reviews past and present methods for wind sensing used in British Columbia with a focus on the avalanche forecasting and control industries. Instrumentation, data presentation and data sharing methods are reviewed and successes and deficiencies are identified. A simple cumulative numeric format for summarizing wind stress at the point of measurement is presented along with suggested applications for industry.
