Trip Description

Info
  • Have you seen snow-forecast.com call for 50cm more than any other website and want to know why?
  • Have you ever been frustrated in getting a forecast for Manning Park?
  • Have you ever wondered how to actually use spotwx.com?

I hope to answer some of these questions, through the lens of avalanche hazard formation and pow shredding. I will go through an example of my pre-trip workflow (forecaster funnel), and then I will dive into the quirks and limitations of certain public facing weather websites. I hope to leave participants with some extra information so they can make more informed decisions regarding ski trip planning, specifically relating to weather.

Meetup and logistics

This is an online event hosted through Telus Business Connect. Business Connect is white-labeled Zoom. The meeting ID and join link is posted in the trip's planning forum.

Start at 8 PM. Wrap up at 9-ish.

Disclosure
I am a member of the Canadian Avalanche Association, but am not a forecaster. This is not a course and there is no defined curriculum.
