Abstract
Using 20 years of storm and ramsonde profile data, the probability of avalanche hazard to the Alta Highway and Village is plotted as a function of ten contributory factors. Results indicate that the hazard probability is related strongly to precipitation and wind direction. Certain factors previously thought to be important (wind speed, settlement, and ramsonde profiles) do not seem important for the south facing slopes and large avalanches tested in this study.
