January 9, 2011 - The current quiz has five questions that are taken from the Level 1 course in the Avalanche Institute . It covers snowpack profiles, from the "Snowpack 2" module. It is a good example of the quizzes used througout the Level 1 course, although there are other formats as well - crosswords, matching, fill-in-the-blank, etc. As well as some which are submitted via the dropbox for human review.

Anyone who gets 100% will be added to a pool of people eligible for additional prizes by a drawing, cumulative success on additional quizzes, or both. Only your first score counts!

We will contact you at your logged in email address concerning any prizes.
