<br/><br/> "The recent deaths of 14 Canadian skiers in two separate snow avalanches in British Columbia have increased attention on safety issues, but some U.S. scientists are turning their focus elsewhere--to studying the properties of snow stability that could lead to more accurate means of predicting avalanche events." (NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION PRESS RELEASE) This article explains how the study of snow and its stability can help scientists predict avalanches.
