Title: Assessing the Probability of Skier Triggering from Snow Layer Properties: Date: 2004; Authors: Jurg Schweizer , Charles Fierz , J. Bruce Jamieson; Description: Snow profile interpretation has developed in the last few years from being based on experience into a semi-quantitative scientific method. Emphasizin...; Object ID: issw-2004-192-198.pdf; Keywords: snow stability, stability evaluation, avalanche forecasting, skier triggering; View additional details about Assessing the Probability of Skier Triggering from Snow Layer Properties

Title: Integrating Shear Quality into Stability Test Results: Date: 2002; Authors: Ron F. Johnson, Karl W. Birkeland; Description: This study investigates whether collecting shear quality data in conjunction with stability test results improves snowpack evaluations. Over the past ...; Object ID: issw-2002-508-513.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, snow stability, stability tests, stability evaluation; View additional details about Integrating Shear Quality into Stability Test Results

Title: Snowpack Stability Variation at a Given Avalanche Danger Level: Date: 2002; Authors: Jurg Schweizer, Kalle Kronhohn, Thomas Wiesinger; Description: To get a more detailed picture of regional snowpack stability patterns at different danger levels a large scale field study has been performed. At fou...; Object ID: issw-2002-175-179.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, snow stability, stability test, snow stability evaluation; View additional details about Snowpack Stability Variation at a Given Avalanche Danger Level

Title: A Field Method for Identifying Structural Weaknesses in the Snowpack: Date: 2002; Authors: Ian McCammon, Jurg Schweizer; Description: Recent studies have confined what experienced avalanche workers have known for years: that human triggered avalanches often coincide with specific str...; Object ID: issw-2002-477-481.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, snow stratigraphy, snow stability evaluation, avalanche education; View additional details about A Field Method for Identifying Structural Weaknesses in the Snowpack

Title: Contrasting Stable and Unstable Snow Profiles with Respect to Skier Loading: Date: 2002; Authors: Jurg Schweizer, J. Bruce Jamieson; Description: A Swiss-Canadian data set of over 400 snow profiles from skier-triggered slopes and slopes that have been skied but not triggered was contrasted to de...; Object ID: issw-2002-499-501.pdf; Keywords: snow stratigraphy, avalanche formation, avalanche forecasting, snow cover stability, snow stability evaluation, skier triggering; View additional details about Contrasting Stable and Unstable Snow Profiles with Respect to Skier Loading

Title: Snow Profile Interpretation: Date: 2000; Authors: Thomas Wiesinger, Jurg Schweizer; Description: Snow profile interpretation is part of the every day work of any avalanche forecasting service. However, profile evaluation is considered rather an ar...; Object ID: issw-2000-223-229.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, snow stability evaluation, stability tests; View additional details about Snow Profile Interpretation

Title: An Objective Snow Profile Comparison Method: Date: 2000; Authors: Michael Lehning, Charles Fierz, Chris Lundy; Description: With the increasing use of numerical models predicting the snow cover status, the need for a simple and standardized evaluation procedure arises.
