ResumoAbstract An index of regional snow-pack stability based on occurrences of natural slab avalanches was developed using a statistical distribution and a sequential testing procedure. The study interprets avalanche information on 185 paths in the Colorado Front Range. Results show general agreement with operational hazard estimates; test results have real-time evaluation potential.
