The study assessed avalanche forecast reading habits, perceptions, and retention of information as well as demographic information on participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 489 participants were included in the final analysis. Of all the respondents, 12% of people who report normally reading the avalanche forecast report not reading the forecast on the day of their avalanche involvement. The plurality of expert and authority users and people between the ages of 41 and 60 y skipped reading the avalanche forecast the day of their reported avalanche incident. Females were more likely than males to have not read the avalanche forecast the day of their avalanche involvement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although avalanche forecasts are widely used as a component of avalanche risk management, a meaningful proportion of individuals involved in avalanches reported not reading the forecast on the day of their incident. By understanding the forecast reading behavior of the people involved in avalanches, we can begin to design targeted efforts within the forecast aimed to decrease avalanche involvement, injury, and death.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10806032261481064","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T03:14:55Z","timestamp":1788146095000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Read It and Weep: An Evaluation of People Involved in Avalanches and Their Forecast Reading Habits"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9733-7674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Petelinsek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rowan","family":"Kelner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamal","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikki","family":"Champion","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Utah Avalanche Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick G.","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","first-page":"20S","article-title":"Wilderness Medical Society clinical practice guidelines for prevention and management of avalanche and nonavalanche snow burial accidents: 2024 update","volume":"35","author":"Van Tilburg C","year":"2023","unstructured":"Van Tilburg C, Paal P, Strapazzon G, Grissom CK, Haegeli P, Holzl N, et al.
