We are pleased to
welcome Andy Anderson to present: “Behind the Scenes at the Sierra Avalanche
Center: Why Avalanche Forecasting Is More than a Coin Toss.”
Many of us are regular readers of the Sierra Avalanche
Center’s (SAC) avalanche forecast, which helps people make more informed
decisions about backcountry travel each winter.
Come learn about how the forecasts are created, what tools
and tests are used, and SAC’s plans for improving the forecasts in the
future. The presentation will start with
the basics of forecasting, including how to read and use a forecast.
Andy Anderson, Avalanche Forecaster, at the Sierra Avalanche
Center since 2006, also built and maintains their website, and websites for
several other avalanche centers. Andy has been a ski patroller in the
Northwest, an English teacher in Chile, a ski bum in the Tetons, and a climbing
ranger in the Tetons, Mt. Rainier and Rocky Mountain National Park.
The meeting will be on Monday, January 11th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the
Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5
fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be
time for networking with other technology professionals who live and work in
the Tahoe-Truckee region.
The event will also be livestreamed by SoSu.tv
and available online as it happens on YouTube: bit.ly/YouTubeTSM
