Introduction

This section contains five mini-cases that enable you to apply aspects of the avalanche weather forecast process to different avalanche-prone mountainous locations.

The first three cases provide background information about the areas’ settings and weather histories and pose questions for you to answer.

The last two cases provide weather data and ask you to produce weather forecasts and evaluate their effect on avalanche potential. This will give you some experience with forecasting with little background information, a situation that you may encounter.
