Abstract | Winter sports snow conditions terminology has been confused by colloquialisms, terms vary with the number of reports. An attempt is made by creating a symposium, bringing together reporters and knowledgeable ski instructors and experts to set up a set of terms to be used and definitions. Such a listing is exhibited. In the Western Unites Stated, some 2,000,000 people are taking advantage of the winter sports radio broadcasts and newspaper releases. With the cooperation of the National Parks, U.S. Forest, State Parks, and many other companies and private ski tower operators, the reporting program to this ever-growing business is progressing. |
