Show recent times the class of people is more diversified, such as skiers, highway users, construction workers. No doubt there are more people in the mountains during the winter today than in the mining days and the sharp reduction in fatal deaths may be due to a combination of factors. Some of these factors are: the miners usually lived in among the avalanche paths, whereas, today, this is not generally done; the publication of material which outlines some of the reasons for avalanches; training sessions conducted by the Forest Service and other groups who work or play in the mountains; introduction and use of known ways of control of the avalanche and issuance of avalanche danger warning during times of high hazard. 13 ( Miners) 10 ( Miners) 14 ( Miners) 17 ( Miners) 113+( Miners) 4 ( Miners) I ( Miner) 3 ( Miners) 4 ( 2 Skiers, 1 highway user and 1 highway worker) 4 ( Highway Users) 3 ( 2 Skiers, 1 highway worker) 4 ( Highway users) Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter Winter of 1 of of of of of of of of of of of 883- 84 884- 85 898- 99 901- 02 905- 06 908- 09 1932- 33 1935- 36 1947- 48 1950- 51 1956- 57 1957- 58 |
