The Center for Snow and
Avalanche Studies believes that the physical
location of a snow and avalanche research organization
really can matter - that living squarely within the
alpine snow system significantly enhances its study. We
are expanding the research capacity of colleges and
universities, of mountain research institutes, and of
government agencies by developing the 720 acre Senator
Beck Basin Study Area on US Forest Service lands located
north of Silverton at Red Mountain Pass with
high-quality snow system research and monitoring
instrumentation and programs. We also provide a
convenient and safe field teaching site, fully permitted
by the Bureau of Land Management, at our Animas Valley
Study Area just a few minutes east of Silverton where
students can perform snowpack profiles while observing
an impressive array of nearby avalanche terrain.
