Estimating Avalanche Danger Rating with the Dangerator
The Dangerator is a tool to help estimate an avalanche danger rating for your local conditions when there is no forecast to advise you. The Dangerator guides you through a two-step process of combining weather data and field observations to assess whether the danger is moderate, considerable or high. The Dangerator does not include low or extreme avalanche danger.
The video below explains how to use the Dangerator and where to find the information you need to establish a danger rating.
