Snow Sense: A Guide to Evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard Review: Understanding Avalanches and Staying Safe - An outstanding, small and concise handbook which succeeds in giving the reader a sound, step by step understanding of the avalanche phenomena. Methods to assess the snow and avalanche conditions are clearly explained. Tips to best understand the risks and danger in traveling through avalanche terrain are explained, as is how to conduct an avalanche self or party rescue. The authors unparalleled experience in the study and teaching of avalanches and their consequences makes this handbook a necessity if you are new to the game, and a very worthwhile addition to the experts' library. There is not a word wasted! Review: Good quality information. - This book has always been recommended in any snow, avalanche or rescue training courses I have attended. There are good reasons for the recommendation. It works well to prep you for a course or as a refresher to pull out before the snow season. Much of it is common sense but then common sense is not so common anymore. Belongs on the shelf(and needs to be taken off and used) of every winter backcountry user regardless of your mode of transportation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,033,428 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Skiing Travel Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (141) | | Dimensions | 5.08 x 0.08 x 7.2 inches | | Edition | Fifth Edition | | ISBN-10 | 061549935X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0615499352 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 132 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2011 | | Publisher | Alaska Mountain Safety Center, Inc. | ## Images ![Snow Sense: A Guide to Evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lXX7jBNaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Understanding Avalanches and Staying Safe *by G***N on March 14, 2019* An outstanding, small and concise handbook which succeeds in giving the reader a sound, step by step understanding of the avalanche phenomena.
