In the interest of promoting avalanche awareness and safety, I have compiled the past year's Tuckerman and Huntington Ravine avalanche reports into a 164-page Word DOC. In doing so, I have eliminated repetitive text as much as possible -- e.g. the last two paragraphs, which are almost always the same. The result is a document that presents important developments in and analysis of the snowpack from October through the end of May in as compressed a format as possible. Cutting, pasting, and stripping took a fair while, but makes a document that's easier to read than clicking through the sequence of individual reports. Many of us have read these reports on a day-by-day basis over the course of the winter and spring, but the compilation brings out longer-term trends such as the "resetting" period between a risk-increasing event and the return to stability.
I'd love to share this document. Whether you're just starting to develop avalanche awareness skills or are a seasoned forecaster, the analysis and objective data on the snowpack is very valuable -- and is actually a fairly interesting read.
Anyone have the ability to host a 700k-or-so Word DOC for distribution? FWIW, copyright does not appear to be an issue.
