The frequency of avalanches at a given location is the primary variable for calculating the risk as imput to zoning applications and decisions about avalanche control options. In this paper, we present a study of avalanche frequency using an extensive data base of avalanche occurence records from Roger's Pass, British Columbia (43 avalanche paths ; 24 years of records). This study, the first of its kind for high frequency avalanche paths, yields the important result that the frequency of avalanches may be described by a Poisson distribution. Study of the relation between terrain variables and precipitation estimates shows that avalanche frequency correlates with path roughness, 30 years maximum water equivalent, east-west location from Roge...
