Title	The Density Distribution of New Snow
Subject	Avalanches; Snow mechanics; Snow surveys
Description	This report sets forth, mainly in graphic form, the density values of 24-hour snowfalls as recorded at several avalanche study sites in the conterminous United States and Alaska. Investigation of the records was originally initiated to answer the question of just what constitutes a "normal" or "average" new snow density in a given area.

In fact it very likely is curved at the smallest snow depths, for new snow densities well under 0.015 gm/ cc have been ob-served from time to time in other localities, though none have yet been reported from the Stevens Pass 2^- hour snow stake. Acknowledgement Studies like this have been made possible by per-severance over the years of the snow rangers and observers who patiently collected ali the data. They are thanked here collectively. Girdwood data were furnished by Alaska Division of Highways.
