Young Snow Professional - YSP Award

Following the ISSW hosting guidelines of affordability, ISSW 2018 initiated the Young Snow Professional (YSP) award, addressing young practitioners and researchers (age < 30 years) to submit their contributions.
Ten YSP-nominees were selected from around 50 submissions, following the reviewers opinion and ranking of the short abstracts
The three beneficiaries were chosen, following the award guidelines, especially encouraging candidates with a long travel distance and highlighting the diversity of presenters.


We proudly announce the works of the three YSP-Award beneficiaries!
