Help shape new sled specific avy safety tools! Survey with prizes!

[Zacs]

Can you help us with a snowmobile specific research initiative?

In collaboration with the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC), a research team at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver is currently conducting an online survey on mountain snowmobiling and avalanche awareness.
The goal of the research team is to gather information on how mountain riders perceive avalanche hazard and how we decide where to ride.

:d The results of this study will lead to tools and services that better support our sled community. :d

While there are occasional references to the Canadian Avalanche Centre, this survey is geared to mountain snowmobilers in general and riders from other countries can simply substitute in their local forecast organizations as appropriate.

.
Simply click on ‘Create personal survey account’ to start.

As a token of appreciation, participants who complete the survey before May 30 will be entered in a draw for one of five two-night stays at a popular BC snowmobile destination. Curious about which towns/hotels were selected?
.

Thanks for your ongoing support of avy safety! We are making a difference!!

UPDATE: If anyone has troubles with the survey just email avalanche@sfu.ca
Pascal can sneak you into the middle of the survey to complete it rather than redo.
A tiny percentage of people have gotten stuck or had troubles loading some pictures.
Sorry for the inconvenience..

Great job so far....more than 300 surveys have been completed since the Monday launch.
