WELCOME TO THE 2010 INTERNATIONAL SNOW SCIENCE WORKSHOP OFFICIAL WEBSITE
The International Symposium of Snow Science and avalanche practice will be held from October 17 - 22, 2010 at the Resort at Squaw Creek in beautiful Squaw Valley, California.
We cordially invite you to join other snow scientists and avalanche practitioners in attending this biennial International Conference celebrating “A Merging of Theory and Practice”. Set amidst a rich history of alpine skiing and snow sports in the spectacular Lake Tahoe basin this meeting of the minds provides our unique industry with a forum in which to discuss theories, present papers and explore innovative new research topics during a five day period of interaction and conviviality.
ISSW 2010 will offer a full social agenda to complement this week of learning and enlightenment. Traditionally, ISSW participants leave the lecture halls for a day of field observation and learning. 
The Lake Tahoe venue, home of the 1960 winter Olympics, begs for a variety of field trips in to avalanche terrain which shaped the historic culture of the place and continues to govern habitation and recreational imperatives to this day.
The beautiful Lake Tahoe area, often referred to as the “Jewel of the Sierra”, offers a wide variety of opportunities for outdoor activities including adventures in rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, fishing, golf, sailing, and more. Combine the exquisite scenery and endless opportunities for play with top of the line shops and restaurants and you'll want to stay forever. Lake Tahoe is conveniently located about one hour from Reno International Airport and 2 hours from Sacramento International Airport. The San Francisco Bay area is about a 3 hour drive on Interstate 80. See you at Lake Tahoe in 2010!
