West-wide Snow Survey Training School
Tahoe City, California
January 7-12, 2007
The 2007 West-wide Snow Survey Training School was held January 7-12, 2007 in
Tahoe City, California. Students from all over the country participated in the winter
survival training and snow measurement classes over the course of the week.
Students were trained in winter survival techniques and built snow shelters to
spent one night out in the snow. Everyone learned a great deal about how to
survive the winter conditions in the unlikely event that they need to spend a
night out in the snow.
The course also provides training in snow data collection techniques. Snow data
is used to produce monthly streamflow volume forecasts at over 700 points across
the west. This training is put on yearly by NRCS and is open to agency personnel
and others that are cooperating with NRCS in snow survey operations.
