Atwater, Montgomery M, and Koziol, Felix C, 1953. Avalanche Handbook. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Alta Avalanche Study Center, iv, 146 pp. [SuDocs A 13.36:Av 1]
"Since the preparation of "The Alta Avalanche Studies" in 1948 continued progress has been made in the observation of snow and avalanche phenomena in the United States.
The "Avalanche Handbook" replaces the "Studies" on the basis of four additional years of observation at Alta in Utah, plus two years at Berthoud Pass in Colorado, two at Mt. Baker in Washington and one year at Stevens Pass in Washington. Thus our snow and avalanche information has more than doubled in volume and the base of observation has widened to include all
the climatic variations of the western United States."
