Avalanche accidents facts - 2004/2005 season

Here is a brief avalanche accidents analysis from the recent winter. It is based on data published by Canadian Avalanche Association website.

We wish the data was more complete thus we could draw some conclusions from them but according to the association they don't have any new updates (as of August 09, 2005) on those six accidents reports.

See the avalanche accidents analysis table. " * " - star, stands for data that weren't available at this time.
