Update - Feb 26, 1997

Our webmaster has been travelling a lot the past six months, so keeping 
things running has been the highest priority. However, a number of things 
have been added. Watch for more new and updated material over the next 
few weeks now that the webmaster is back.

Store:

We are in the process of adding some additional items. We now carry the 
new video "Beating the Odds" from the Canadian Avalanche Association. 
Other new items should be available soon. Remember that proceeds from the 
store help us to keep the whole project running.

Bulletins:

New bulletins include the Voralberg area of Austria, Eastern Sierra 
(Mammoth California), Colorado (yes it is finally on the net!), and 
Southern Utah (LaSal Mtns). 

The Forest Service Data General went through a few changes recently and 
we have been having some problems with the SW Montana bulletin. This may 
be close to being fixed, thanks to a lot of effort by Karl Birkeland in 
Bozeman. The Idaho weather seems to have disappeared - we have sent email 
asking what happened to it since all the other states are still there.

On our task list is a cleaning up of our mailing list and posting 
systems. Hopefully this will mean additional bulletins available by email.

Incidents:

Still growing. Many more reports on accidents outside North America this 
year, although in most cases all we have is from the mainstream media. On 
the task list is converting older reports to the new html style and 
adding info on past years which has accumulated here in the office.

Education:

This has been neglected for a while. We will be revamping it entirely, 
hopefully soon. Still lots of good info, but there are probably some bad 
links as well as some things that should be linked in and aren't.

Other Cool Stuff:

We have not changed this much but will have new material soon. The index 
to pictures on the web is currently being reformatted and updated. There 
should be additional statistics info soon. Our only sponsor for this page 
so far, Alpengroup, has some additional news stories and first hand 
accounts which we will be adding when we receive them. Improvement of the 
links section has also been on our task list a while.

Professional Resources:

No recent changes.


Once we make some progress on our task list we'll issue another update. 
Meanwhile, check back once in a while!

Finally, this is a whole lot of work which is being done with very 
minimal resources. Thanks a lot to our sponsors and to the long list of 
people who have contributed. (A list of contributors is online - click

section www.avalanche-center.org/Organization/ )
