Until now, the annual reports of the avalanche warning services have mostly been a more or less dry chronicle of the past winter, usually only of interest to specialists, in which the avalanche accidents of the previous season were listed. Patrick Nairz and Rudi Mair from the Tyrolean avalanche warning service show how things can be done differently in their "(blatt)form für schnee und avinen des tiroler avalanchewarndienstes 08/09".
Sensational in its presentation, quality and usefulness, this annual report is also interesting and exciting reading for all freeriders and ski tourers, especially of course for those who are often out and about in Tyrol.
The winter and accident chronicle is supplemented by interesting and specialist articles and the latest findings, for example on the problem of sliding snow avalanches.
