Your data is stored online on a “state of the art” secure data system, and only you are able to decide who will have access to that information, and reciprocal rights may be granted to you. In order to view that data, you will be given a list of all operations that have agreed to share with you. You can view this information by individual operation, or have all shared operations in a single table. Best of all, you will have immediate access to the snow science data once it is entered into the online database via standard web browsers, or on mobile devices. Back to top
