After careful deliberation, the International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) 2020 organization has made the incredibly difficult decision to cancel the ISSW conference planned for October 3-8 (2021), in Fernie.
A year ago, due to the many uncertainties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, a decision was made to postpone the event from 2020 to 2021. Our commitment to the snow science community has never wavered, but the health and safety of the conference delegates, our event volunteers, and our host community has always been and continues to be a top priority.
To say we are disappointed is an understatement. However, we are proud of what we accomplished through these challenging times.
