Avalanche specialists use nine distinct ‘characters’ or ‘avalanche problem types’ to better describe and communicate the avalanche conditions. Dry Loose avalanches are the release of dry unconsolidated snow and typically occur within layers of soft snow near the surface of the snowpack. These avalanches start at a point AVALANCHE.ORG » REPORT AN AVALANCHE ACCIDENT Contact your local Avalanche Center if you are involved in an avalanche. Contact the National Avalanche Center if there is no local center. Official avalanche accident reports are produced when individuals are critically injured or killed in an avalanche. Please document and report non-critical encounters as well. Please contact A3@avalanche.org for more information about industry statistics AVALANCHE.ORG » AVALANCHE PROBLEM Avalanche Problem. The avalanche danger is a broad brushstroke of daily conditions. ‘ Avalanche Problems’ are an extension of the danger scale and use four factors to give a more nuanced description of the days avalanche conditions: the type of potential avalanche. the location of that avalanche in the terrain. the likelihood oftriggering it.
