The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) brings together scientists and practitioners from a wide range of snow-related fields every two years. New findings and research results are presented in various thematic blocks - so-called sessions. We break the whole thing down into more or less digestible morsels and summarize the sessions of the ISSW2018 for you every two weeks.

Every two years, the International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) brings together scientists and practitioners from a wide range of different, but always snow-related, subject areas. New findings and research results are presented in various thematic blocks - so-called sessions.

You could say that the weather gods didn't mean well with the new, old Snow&Safety Conference in Lech am Arlberg this year. Rain in Lech was not necessarily what freeriders and off-piste skiers had hoped for. On the other hand, it wasn't really about powder skiing but about risk management in the winter mountains. The conditions were indeed challenging for this and therefore anything but unsuitable.

The SLF's weekly report serves as an important source of information for winter sports enthusiasts outside the geographical borders of Switzerland. We present this regular contribution to you today.

Every two years, full-time snow scientists - both practitioners and those with a more theoretical bent - meet to exchange knowledge at the International Snow Science Workshop, the so-called "Ei-S-S-double-you" (ISSW)*. Every two weeks, we take a look at individual topics from the last conference and summarize them in a generally understandable way, or at least try to. What the ISSW is in particular, and what the last one was, can be found in this article:

The SLF is making key data on accidents from the current season more easily accessible in a new online tool. All avalanche accidents in which one or more people were swept away are displayed on a zoomable map.

372 written papers were submitted to the International Snow Science Workshop in Innsbruck last October. The Schneestöberer has distilled the most interesting 10% of them for the particularly ambitious readers and collected them with a direct link to the respective paper.

From October 7 to 12, Innsbruck became the center of the world. The world of snow and avalanches. The International Snow Science Workshop was held for the first time in the "Capital of the Alps". A review of a successful week and a look ahead to interesting developments in avalanche prevention and accident management for winter sports enthusiasts:
