9 out of 10 fatal avalanche accidents are triggered by the victim or someone in their party. This means, like Roger Atkins pointed out more than 20 years ago, that avalanche is a human problem, not a snow problem. 
One of the ways to remedy this is by education. But does it work?

Kelly McNeal is a professor in community health and also an avalanche instructor. 
She presents insights from a survey study on avalnche education and an trend study of avalanche accidents.
