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.
Submissions
We are currently looking for article submissions and will continue to look for submissions throughout the year. So, if you have a story you would like to tell, new research to share or a message regarding the industry please feel free to contact our Partnerships Advisor for Alpine Loic Lassueur
All submitted articles should follow the suggested format below and be no longer than 2000 words.
