The influence of terrain parameters on the spatial variability of potential avalanche trigger locations in complex avalanche terrain

More winter recreationists are venturing into steep avalanche chutes and "extreme" terrain each year, and avalanche fatalities are increasing. The slope-scale spatial variability of weak layers and slabs and how it relates to this complex terrain is of critical importance but poorl...
