How it works

ATES ratings: the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale classes terrain by how exposed it is to avalanches. It describes the terrain, not the day's snowpack, so use it together with the current avalanche forecast.

Avalanche training: a map or guidebook does not replace avalanche training, a current forecast, or rescue gear and practice. OMG runs AIARE avalanche courses.
