Snow Hydrology (SNOW & AVALANCHES) with Ned Bair
It's tiny! It's beautiful! It's cold! It can kill you. Snow and avalanche expert Dr. Ned Bair meets up on a bench during a layover to chat about the beauty of snowflakes, the best ammo for snowball fights, firing cannons at mountainsides, avalanche flam-flam, the dangers of snow patrolling, a lifesaving goat-antelope, the best and worst ski movies and a mentor that changed his life. Also: bomb cyclones and some tips on excavating your car. Or just staying inside.\n\nMore on Dr. Ned Bair's work\n\nThis week's donation was made to ESAvalanche.org\n\nSponsor links: www.kiwico.com/ologies, www.thegreatcourses.com/ologies, www.linkedin.com/ologies\n\nMore links at www.alieward.com/ologies/snowhydrology\n\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\n\nOlogiesMerch.com\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\n\nFollow @Ologies on\xa0Twitter\xa0or\xa0Instagram\n\nFollow @AlieWard on\xa0Twitter\xa0or\xa0Instagram\n\nSound editing by\xa0Steven Ray Morris\xa0& Jarret Sleeper\n\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\n\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies
