Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Hoarfrost [is] a deposit of interlocking ice crystals formed by direct sublimation on objects, usually those of small diameter freely exposed to the air, such as tree branches, plant stems and leaf edges, wires, and poles. Also, frost may form on the skin of an aircraft when a cold aircraft flies into warm and moist air or when it passes through air that is supersaturated with water vapor. Hoarfrost is formed similarly to the way dew is formed except that the temperature of the frosted object must be below freezing. Frost forms when air with a dew point below freezing is brought to saturation by cooling. In addition to its formation on freely exposed objects(air hoar), hoarfrost also forms inside unheated buildings and vehicles, in caves, in crevasses(crevasse hoar), on snow surfaces(surface hoar), and in air spaces within snow, especially below a snow crust(depth hoar). Hoarfrost is more fluffy and feathery than rime, which in turn is lighter than glaze. Hoarfrost is designated light or heavy(frost) depending upon the amount and uniformity of deposition. 6, record 3, English, - hoar%20frost
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Hoarfrost [is] due to nocturnal radiation. Hoarfrost forms during still, clear nights, is small in amount, needlelike in texture, the "needles" approximately perpendicular to the objects on which they occur, and most abundant along the edges. 7, record 3, English, - hoar%20frost

In skiing and snowboarding, a face shot refers to the situation where the snow that is sprayed from the edge of the skis or board during a turn flies up into the face. Face shots only occur in deep powder snow. They most frequently occur for snowboarders when doing a heelside turn. They can be dangerous due to the way they negatively impact on visibility. 1, record 10, English, - face%20shot

Il ne semble pas y avoir actuellement un terme consacré en français pour nommer cette notion. Certaines personnes utilisent le terme anglais «face shot» ou y vont selon l'inspiration du moment. Nous croyons que les termes suivants sont tous viables, selon que l'on décrive l'action («bain de poudreuse», «coup de poudreuse») ou le phénomène («gerbe de poudreuse», «nuage de poudreuse»). 2, record 10, French, - bain%20de%20poudreuse

Afin d'éviter tout risque de confusion possible, nous avons préféré rejeter les termes «panache de neige» et plus spécifiquement «panache de poudreuse»; ces termes ayant déjà deux sens distincts : «Neige soulevée par le mouvement d'une avalanche lors de son écoulement» et «Neige soufflée de la crête d'une montagne». 2, record 10, French, - bain%20de%20poudreuse

Before heading out to the backcountry, it's important to monitor the weather for several days beforehand. In just minutes slight fluctuations in weather can turn an otherwise safe slope into avalanche-prone territory. Always be aware of precipitation, the wind and how the sun hits the slopes. For example, a sudden storm with rain can almost instantly destabilize a slope's snow cover. 3, record 11, English, - destabilize
