Avalanche Safety by Casey Gardner - AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDEverything is interconnected, knowing this is our only salvation. Steep, snowy slopes are loaded terrains of uncertainty. Hidden layers and changing variables make stability difficult to predict. Stability depends on the cohesion between one particle to another and one layer to another. If the force of gravity outweighs cohesion, a slide is inevitable. In an avalanche climbers can find themselves in a path of destruction triggered by their own
