Abstract: The Stability Wheel is an intuitive and didactic decision-making framework which incorporates the findings from anti-crack theory by Heierli et al. (2008) into classroom and field practice. The Stability Wheel is a visual representation of the slab avalanche release model. Specifically, it distinctly represents the likelihoods of Trigger, Propagation, and Slip in addition to the Structural Weaknesses identified as lemons by McCammon and Schweizer (2002) or yellow flags by Jamieson and Schweizer (2005).
