With the great success of the innovative 'avalanche' manual. the two internationally renowned Tyrolean avalanche detectors Rudi Mair and Patrick Nairz succeeded five years ago to introduce and establish the concept of hazard pattern developed from them in avalanche awareness.

This completely revised and updated edition reflects the evolution of the last five annual accounts and documents the current state of international avalanche knowledge not least due to the understanding of risk patterns. The European Avalanche Warning Services 2014 list the transnational representation of five avalanche problems of fresh snow, snow drift, old snow, wet snow and 5. sliding snow), which occur again and again over the course of the winter. These problems are now also presented and explored in the 10 most important hazard patterns. The analysis of current accident data - all accident examples have been updated! - optimally prepares the knowledge in a proven form.
