Abstract

Avalanche impacts in Canada, including fatalities, are summarized for residential and public areas, as well as roads, ski areas, backcountry recreation, and resource industries. Methods for managing avalanche hazard, which include defence structures, zoning, forecasting and explosive control, are outlined. Problems with current avalanche hazard management are identified and progress at solving these problems is identified with an emphasis on residential areas, backcountry recreation and resource industries.
