This video explains how the North American Avalanche Danger Scale Works.
The U.S. and Canada use a five-category estimation of the avalanche danger:
Low, Moderate, Considerable, High and Extreme.
The North American Avalanche Danger Scale is a tool used by avalanche forecasters to communicate the potential for avalanches to cause harm or injury to backcountry travelers. The video below provides an overview of the scale, as well as a quick illustration of how it applies to your daily backcountry risk assessment.Â
Please watch.
It’s like if a stop sign said: we would like to advise you to consider ceasing forward motion at your earliest possible convenience to avoid a collision with cars that are approaching the same place at the same time at an oblique angle. how well would that communicate your traffic system.
