I noticed today that the Avy hazard for the north columbia and caribou's this weekend is Considerable right from Below treeline right to alpine and Just wanted to give a definition of the CAA, hazard rating of "Considerable"!
ive always found this term to be somewhat misleading,
A hazard rating of Considerable implies "Dangerous Avalanche conditions! Carefull snowpack evaluation required,cautious route-finding and conservative decision making essential!"
"Natural avalanches possible, Human triggered avalanches LIKELY"
The way I think about it is, when the rating is "Considerable" you better dam well "Consider" the possibility of avalanches occurring!
