Abstract

The article provides a brief overview of modern methods for assessing and predicting avalanche danger. The issue of the difference between Kazakhstan and foreign scientific approaches is also discussed. Information is intended for employees of thе snow avalanche services of the CIS. Many promising developments can be applied in practical work.
