Avalanche control observations are detailed records of avalanche occurrences as described in OGRS (2014) section 3. A quick entry screen is available to avalanche control extension subscribers to allow efficient input of multiple avalanche observations including no results.
Overview
See Avalanche Control Configuration for configuration information. A separate entry for each of your control routes appears after all the other observation types. When a control route is selected to enter observations for the photo(s) for your control route is displayed at the top of the screen for reference but CANNOT be drawn on using the photo overlay drawing functionality.
Mandatory fields
Mandatory fields are highlighted with a red outline and label. Incorrectly completed mandatory fields will result in a validation error on submission.
| Name | Mandatory | Comment |
| Location | Always | Location of observation - a line in the quick entry table is automatically created for each child avalanche path for the control route. Additional observations can be added (for these avalanche paths onl)y using Add. |
| ObservationDate | Always | Date of observation |
| Character | Always | Character of avalanche. See Avalanche character definition table for more information on avalanche problems. |
| Num | Always | Number of avalanches included in this observation. |
| Size (typical) | Always | Typical size of avalanches included this observation. |
| Trigger | Always | Trigger type for repored avalanches according to definitions described in OGRS. |

In addition to associating avalanche observations with a predefined location from your location catalog, it is also possible to drop a pin or draw a polygon on a map to indicate exactly where the avalanche occurred. See Providing the exact location of an avalanche or snowpack observation for more information on how to drop a pin.
If you have a photo associated with your selected location a pencil icon will appear next to the pin. This allows you to draw on the photo and submit the photo with the overlay you have drawn with your observation. Overlays can be viewed in the Photo Overlay Viewer.
