Recognizing the decisive problems and danger patterns. The definitive book of
\nsnow and avalanche science. <\/p>\n
In the hugely successful innovative manual \u201clawine\u201d published eight years ago,
\ninternationally recognized \u2018avalanche warner\u2019 authors Rudi Mair and Patrick
\nNairz succeeded in writing the definitive work of avalanche science. Partially
\nresponsible its success was their innovative concept of Danger Patterns, which
\nled the European Avalanche Warning Services to introduce cross-border
\ndepictions of five Avalanche Problems in 2014.<\/p>\n
These problems, which occur repeatedly in every mountain region throughout the
\ncourse of winter, are also depicted in this definitive work: 1. Fresh Snow, 2.
\nSnowdrifts, 3. Old Snow, 4. Wet Snow and 5. Gliding Snow. These fundamental
\nproblems are then explored more deeply in the ten decisive Danger Patterns.<\/p>\n
What are the typical meteorological conditions in early winter, deep winter,
\nlate winter and springtime? What effects do they have on the snow cover? And
\nabove all: what threats do they create? Short, concise blocks of information,
\nhighly expressive photos of the complexities of the landscape optimize
\ncomprehensive expertise of this science. Through the analysis of typical
\naccidents (which have actually occurred) these recurring danger patterns are
\nillustrated with a clarity that makes them recognizable on-site.<\/p>\n
Adopting this approach, the book pursues a classic strategic path of risk
\nmanagement, e.g. \u20183×3\u2019 or \u2018stop or go\u2019 thereby melding to a graspable, all-
\nencompassing whole. A book born of practice in outlying terrain, a practical
\nmanual for outdoor experiences. It was awarded the Platinum Book Prize by the
\nAustrian Book Association and named the standard work of snow and avalanche
\nscience. And now, finally, it is available in English. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
