Everything Avalanches 2017/2018

[Zacs Avy Crew]

It would be nice if avalanche.ca had a Acronym list so a guy could convert to laymen's terms.

It's not rocket science, but it's pretty hard to learn decifpher greek.

They are working on an online trip planner that will have a few acronyms on it. It's a great idea to have a code listing.
