WATCH: Using Cold Coffee To Determine Avalanche Slab Potential

This one is for the real snow geek’s out there!! This video is from the American Avalanche Institute. Here they pour cold coffee into a south facing slope that has begun to undergo spring like melt-freeze cycles. This is a tool forecasters utilize to help determine, where liquid water may impound, or pool, in the snow pack which can help forecast potential depth and size of wet slab activity.
