Alpine Safety Design Project

I’m conducting some research for a school design project dealing with improving mountain safety and would love your feedback! Your answers are completely anonymous and will help shape a proposed design solution to mitigate ski and snowboard accidents.

Thanks in advance for your valuable feedback!
