<br/><br/> "At this time of year, winter sports enthusiasts are heading for the mountains. But it is also the prime time for avalanches, which kill dozens of people worldwide each year. Simulating mountain conditions in the lab may be our only hope of forecasting avalanche conditions reliably, preventing tragedies like the massive slide in Russia last September [2003] that killed nearly 100 people." (NEW SCIENTIST) This article explains how the study of the characteristics of snow is helping scientists learn more about avalanches.
