2.1 5. AVA L A N C H E H A Z A R D
When riding on mountainous terrain, you should be aware of the risk of avalanches. Avalanches
vary in size and shapes and generally occur in steep terrain and on unstable snow. New snow,
wildlife, people, wind and low-powered vehicles like the SnowBike can all trigger an avalanche.
Avoid terrain where avalanche conditions are possible. When in unstable snow conditions, travel
should be restricted to lower angle slopes. When in the mountains be aware of the conditions
and dangers. Check local avalanche forecasts before heading out to ride and always follow the
safety recommendations of local authorities. You should always carry a snow shovel, probe and
avalanche beacon while riding on mountains. We recommend that all mountain riders take a local
avalanche safety training course.
2.1 6. N O RT H A M E R I C A N AVA L A N C H E DA N G E R S C A L E
Avalanche danger is determined by the likelihood, size and distribution of avalanches.
