Basic Avalanche Theory & Identifying Avalanche Terrain

[@j.thomas7128]

Good start to understanding avalanches. Great info. Please also stress the importance of understanding slough (or loose snow) avalanches as well as slab slides. It was only slough that caused Jamie Pierre to get washed down a cliff and lose his life at pre-season (low snow) conditions at an unopened November Snowbird. RIP JP. Over ten years later and still as missed as ever, buddy! I'd love to tell ya about 900" in Alta last year.

Glad you found it helpful! we have more on our channel and website!

In order to get a perfect slab avalanche (cohesive snow) it's got to be exactly 38° slope angle.

So... anywhere on the mountain?

Great video!!!!!

[@gabehoing8064]

avalanches are kinda gnarly

[@PenandPaper]

what type of avalanches slide at 20 degrees?

[@lukasjaga7046]

Wet slab avalanches. As wet snow is heavier than dry snow gravity has more of an effect on it. Assume you have the same amount of friction between 2 layers of snow and the same slope. The heavier snow will slide more easily.

Less background music would be helpful since it isn’t a party that you are providing.

lol. For real.

Too fast and not enough detail. This is KZbin's fault for removing the dislike button.

Demanding too much for a free content. Get yourself an avalanche coach for more solid details.

@@chang8690 Expecting accurate information on life or death issues is demanding too much?
