What counts as a avalanche warnings
Avalanche warnings rate snowpack stability, usually on a five-level European or North American danger scale, and describe which aspects and elevations are most dangerous. Most victims trigger the avalanche themselves, so the rating matters most for backcountry and off-piste travel, and for settlements below avalanche paths.
