Welcome to season 2 of the Snow Interesting podcast! A quick recap of some of the research I did over the summer, as well as a look into what it really means to have an El Niño year!

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Snow Interesting! This week is all about data: how to record what you observe in your snow pit and how to read the data that gets shared on a pit profile workup!

In this episode we're gonna talk a little more science than normal and go into a discussion of what is snow? Hint: it's a lot more complicated than you think! After we get through the science heavy portion, we take a trip down into the pits to examine the anatomy of a snow pit and talk about some of the tests we run in them!

Snow interesting is in no way meant to be a substitution for proper training and instruction for avalanche professionals. Know the risks, know what to do in an emergency, and make good choices.
