A "big little book"
The book Snow sense is now the required reading material for all Nat'l Ski Patrol avalanche courses, and rightly so. As a longtime Alaskan, I feel fortunate to have had both Doug and Jill in many courses. I read it at the begining of every season. True avalanche professionals. If you ever have the chance, come to Alaska and take one of their courses.

From Backcountry Magazine #19, 1999
Small size but HUGE on concise information for learning to recognize, evaluate, and avoid potential avalanche hazards. Used by avalanche professionals as a base for avalanche education classes.

Review from Outside Mag.,The Outside Canon:A Few Great Books
This valuable book details how to read terrain, snowpack, and weather variables to determine the possiblities of avalanche and how to save yourself in case of one. "Avalanches are not acts of God.
