AVALANCHE MAPPING

THIS IS A PROJECT TO CREATE DIGITAL AVALANCHE AND SNOWPIT DATA AND AVALANCHE INFORMATION SHARING. IT IS THE ONLY PROJECT DEDICATED TO BUILDING AVALANCHE PATH ATLAS'S AND GIS DATA FOR AVALANCHE MODELING AND FORECASTING. WE ARE STARTING OUR SIXTH SEASON AND ARE PROUD TO BE WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD. WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS WE ARE BUILDING DATA ALONG THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN AVALANCHE ASSOCIATION AND THE NATIONAL AVALANCHE CENTER. AS WELL AS KEEPING TO THE STANDARDS OF THE FEDERAL GEOGRAPHIC DATA COMMITTEE. PLEASE BROWSE THE WEBSITE AND FEEL FREE TO EMAIL US WITH ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR SUGGESTIONS.
