Each year, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center<\/a> (CAIC) hosts its Colorado Snow and Avalanche Workshop, drawing in hundreds of avalanche forecasters from around North America for a weekend covering education, sharing snowpack research, and meeting industry experts. <\/strong>The theme of this year\u2019s workshop was new tools designed to answer a key question: how far will an avalanche travel?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question always really comes back to this one question, \u2018will it reach the road? Will the avalanche reach the road?\u2019\u201d CAIC geospatial data specialist Valerie Foley told Colorado Springs\u2019 CBS KKTV<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
