Triggering a persistent slab avalanche from a thin spot is infrequent, insidious and potentially deadly. This 6 minute video outlines the snowpack conditions and mechanics. Intended for intermediate and advanced backcountry recreationists and those interested in avalanche science. 22 Feb 2022.

Different people often assign a different size to the same avalanche. Considering deposit volume has been proposed to improve the consistency of size ratings. With the 2024 adoption of deposit volume into the scale of destructive potential for avalanches, visualizing deposit volume by how high the deposit would fill a house or hockey rink should improve the consistency of ratings. Thanks to Brendan Martland, Lisa Larson and Tyler Carson for helpful comments.

The size of a specific avalanche is assessed with the more visual method and a more quantitative method. Uploaded 2024-04-05. CC BY-ND.

Slab tension means different things to different avalanche practitioners (survey summer 2022). In this (controversial?) 21 minute video, Bruce Jamieson, Karl Birkeland, Grant Statham and Scott Thumlert summarize some common perceptions about slab tension, then review the role of slab tension in the modern understanding of dry slab avalanche release.

It's easy to underestimate the size of an avalanche from a distance. In this video, Bruce Jamieson outlines a method using on-site estimates of size to calibrate the estimates from a distance. March 2022. CC BY-ND

An introduction to snow avalanche dynamics and impact. Includes avalanches in motion but no models and almost no math. Intended for anyone interested in avalanche science, early career avalanche practitioners, and Christian Jaedicke's students (perhaps as pre-course material?) Bruce Jamieson and Christian Jaedicke. October 2021.

Interviews with Marc Piché, Penny Goddard, John Buffery, Sylvia Forest and Larry Stanier. 18 October 2021

A video chat with Iain Stewart-Patterson, May 2021, about intuitive and analytical thinking, trip planning, decision aids and mindsets for recreation in avalanche terrain. CC BY-ND. The podcast is at https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-8mmz8-107ca68

Views on the roles of convexities in human triggered avalanches vary widely. In this educational video intended for intermediate and advanced winter backcountry recreationists, Ron Simenhois and Bruce Jamieson present various perspectives and research on human triggering near convex slopes.
