This was the first meeting held under the title International Snow Science Workshop. The motto A Merging of Theory and Practice was first introduced at this meeting, crystallizing and formalizing the philosophy that had been evolving in earlier meetings.

​

Special invitations were sent to researchers and practitioners to encourage interchange of ideas. Topics included avalanche zoning, grooming cross-country ski trails, bomb trams and post control releases.

​

In addition, the first issues of the Avalanche Review were distributed.

​

The field trip was to Bridger Bowl Ski Area. Ed LaChapelle was the banquet speaker.
