    Avalanche Maps

    Came across this this afternoon - very good if you happen to travel in the areas mapped...

    also check out the link to GPS Data - seems like a cool project they have going on...

    Doug Scott is a friend of ours (Friends of Berthoud Pass) and we always try to have a few of his maps on hand for sale to members. Good guy and great product. Definitely gets a Good Pinner Seal of Approval.

    cool - Pinner, have you used any of these maps much? I have never run accross maps like this before - is the idea just that you have a better idea of the general (historical) risks of the area you are in and you know better where to dig your pits? I want to get his 3 Anchorage area maps I think...

    PM Avmapper, that is Doug's board name here. He comes here only occasionally, I am trying to work on a project with him with our handheld equipment.

    You can also contact Doug at ddscott at avalanchemapping.org.

    Email is your better option. If you have trouble getting ahold of him, pm me and I have his phone number.
