From Canada and some snow-friendly parts of the US, engineers who deal with snow management problems, and scientists in such fields as agriculture, life science, meteorology, and recreational studies, offer a broad introduction to snow. In sections on snow and the environment, snowfall and snowcover, snow and engineering, and snow and recreation, they explore such topics as climate, the distribution of snowcover, snow drifting, travel over snow, chemicals and abrasives for snow and ice control, snow removal equipment, and the mechanics of skis.
