Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Snow and Avalanche Conditions at Mt. Baldy, California
The winter recreation area of Mt. Baldy, situated at 34° 201 N. Latitude on a sharp topographic divide between coastal climate and desert, presents some unusual snow, weather and avalanche conditions.
The snow ranger's task of insuring public safety on this part of the Angeles National Forest is compounded by the proximity of the huge Los Angeles metropolitan center, most of whose residents are totally unfamiliar with mountain snow hazards.
The peculiar conditions prevailing at Mt. Baldy are an excellent example ofthe necessity for modifying avalanche forecasting and control procedures to fit local climate. They also illustrate a severe problem in public relations.
