Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Check out the various links on this page
http://utahavalanchecenter.org/online_tutorials
The numerous tutorials link has loads of info not just on awareness but also practical stuff on analysing snowpack, testing stability rescue etc.
A lot of it is by Bruce Tremper (Author of Staying alive in Avalanche Terrain) and it works well with the book.
Enjoy
Perhaps if other
's have some useful links they could post them here too.

They only forecast for scotland but the SAIS blogs are worth reading. For example this post from the Creag Meagaidh observers -

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

A very noticeable error in that Utah avalanche site. It states that "avalanches are possible on any slope steeper than 30°".
This is wrong. Avalanches occur regularly on slopes as gentle as 25° or even 20° and wet-snow slides have been known to occur on slopes even flatter than that.

, Its misleading but its not wrong, avalanches can happen on any slope steeper than 30degrees

A tad pedantic, no? The information is intended to inform the reader of the range of slope angles which are vulnerable to avalanche. As such, it is wrong.
