Another exciting day for SARP. Henry successfully defended his masters thesis on avalanche bulletin literacy today! Unfortunately no photos as the defense was online. Looking forward to sharing more about the research in the near future. Congratulations to Henry!

Excited to have articles from two SARP members in the latest edition of The Avalanche Journal of the Canadian Avalance Association: Anne St. Clair with her article on her avalanche bulletin user typology and Simon Horton on the future of avalanche forecasting.

Skier/boarder? Snowmobiler? Ice Climber? Snowshoer? Love recreating outside in the winter? We'd love your input! Please take our new survey to help us understand the use of terrain information included in avalanche forecasts! The results of this research will help avalanche warning services to make avalanche forecasts more useful for everybody. Visit https://avbullvis.avalancheresearch.ca/ to participate and a chance to win one of our cash prizes!

Congratulations to Moses Towell for successfully defending his thesis entitled "Linking avalanche problem types to modelled weather and snowpack conditions: A pilot study in Glacier National Park, British Columbia". A great step towards modelling avalanche problems. This bring the number of 2019 SARP graduates to 4!
