Title: Measurements of Human-Triggered Avalanches from the Swiss Alps: Date: 2000; Authors: Jurg Schweizer, Martina Lutschg; Description: Ten years of avalanche incidents data from the Swiss Alps have been analyzed in order to find characteristics of human triggered avalanches. We were p...; Object ID: issw-2000-200-207.pdf; Keywords: snow, avalanche, avalanche accidents, avalanche release, snow stability, avalan forecasting, skier triggering; View additional details about Measurements of Human-Triggered Avalanches from the Swiss Alps

Title: Effect of Snow Temperatures on Skier Triggering of Dry Slab Avalanches: Date: 1996; Authors: D.M. McClung, Jurg Schweizer; Description: Field observations and experience show that snow temperatures can have a strong influence on dry snow slab instability. Experience shows that there ar...; Object ID: issw-1996-113-117.pdf; Keywords: dry snow, snow temperature, snow strength, slab avalanche, avalanche formation, skier triggering; View additional details about Effect of Snow Temperatures on Skier Triggering of Dry Slab Avalanches

Title: Monitoring a Shear Frame Stability Index and Skier-Triggered Slab Avalanches Involving Persistent Snowpack Weaknesses: Date: 1994; Authors: Bruce Jamieson, Colin Johnston; Description: Ski guides routinely decide whether to ski or avoid particular avalanche slopes. Similarly, avalanche forecasters for ski areas and highways decide wh...; Object ID: issw-1994-014-021.pdf; Keywords: forecasters, safety decisions, terrain, stability, skier triggering; View additional details about Monitoring a Shear Frame Stability Index and Skier-Triggered Slab Avalanches Involving Persistent Snowpack Weaknesses
