The emphasis on reviewing developments in snow and avalanches and then defining needs for future developments and research continued with a discussion following each paper. Among the topics presented were several quantified snow theories and a thorough review of the legal implications and control policies involved with the recent Alpine Meadows accident. 11 posters were presented along with 12 commercial exhibitors. Additionally, a special meeting was held to establish the American Association of Avalanche Professionals (Now the American Avalanche Association). Barry Bunshoft, an attorney, was the banquet speaker. A field trip to Alpine Meadows followed the meeting.
