Crystal Ball — Publication Update

This year marks an evolution of the Crystal Ball. The updated format for this important publication sees its scope widen to accommodate the broader alpine space rather than a pure avalanche journal. It also sees the Crystal Ball shift to a yearlong submission of journal articles that will be published on MSC’s blog as separate articles. The final Crystal Ball publication (PDF) will be a collective of the articles published throughout the year and will be available to download from the MSC website.
