Abstract: Avalanche work is the mother of necessity. Innovation and invention have been hallmarks of the cross-over between the science of snow and the practicality of avalanche hazard assessment and mitigation. There are numerous simple field snow tools that have become ingrained in our regular use. This paper and poster highlight the origin story and history of two of the tools: the crystal card, which is core if not mandatory for students in the professional avalanche education stream as well as avalanche workers; and the snow-specific field book.
