Assess and reduce risks from Avalanches

The skill of avalanche prediction is both an art and a science. This guide,
aimed at mountaineers, skiers, climbers, snowboarders, snowshoers, walkers and
all who love winter and snow sports, can help you learn that skill. The guide
draws on the expertise of a wide range of professionals involved in mountain
activities, as well as first-hand accounts of avalanche scenes from witnesses
and survivors, to help you understand and predict avalanches, evaluate the
risks and reduce the dangers. This practical, pocket-sized guide is for use on
the mountain and during planning.

The guide includes a NivoTest designed to help quantify the risks from
avalanches.
