On Friday, October 8, 2010, the
Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) will host the 9th Annual Colorado Snow and Avalanche Workshop at the
National Mining Museum in historic Leadville, CO.
Pre-registration is encouraged and will be through the
CAIC website beginning in September. The CAIC staff are still finalizing the schedule, but anticipate workshops until 4:30 pm with a social event to follow. Updates will be posted on their
website.
At this time, the CAIC staff is asking that anyone interested in presenting a talk contact them at
caic@qwestoffice.net with "CSAW" in the subject line. Please include a brief outline on the topic you wish to present, an author biography, and your contact information. Past topics have included the use of explosives in grid patterns to increase stability, theories of avalanche flow and the best way to survive if caught, case studies of recent avalanche accidents, and the annual winter forecast presented by the
Grand Junction National Weather Service Office.
