            <title><![CDATA[Help! UBC Avalanche Survey]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Looking for help with survey results for a new avalanche technology.&amp;nbsp;

We are a group of graduate students from the University of British Columbia, in Canada. We are looking to develop a product for backcountry users that will solve a need in avalanche safety. In particular, we want to develop a tool that will reduce the time it takes to assess the snowpack and understand the avalanche risk in the immediate area.

Here is the survey link to help us design the product:&amp;nbsp;http://goo.gl/forms/iKzRwpe79N

It would be awesome if you could help spread the survey to maximize results!&amp;nbsp;

Thanks!
