In making the switch, Avalanche Canada says it did so because they would often see significant variations in its prior 16 fixed regions.
“At times, you might see regions of the same colour separated into different forecasts,” says Avalanche Canada.“This means the highest danger rating is the same across these two regions, but the avalanche problems are different.”The keystone in Avalanche Canada’s new flexible forecast models are areas called subregions.
Those 92 subregions won’t be found on the map, but Avalanche Canada says forecasters will group subregions with similar conditions to create a forecast region. “Applying one forecast to a region that had big differences within its boundaries was a communication challenge,” says Avalanche Canada. “This new system enables us to provide more accurate forecasts when weather cycles impact some areas but not others.“Now, our forecasters can more effectively communicate that variability. Also, the new search bar feature makes it easier for users to determine which forecast regions are applicable to them.
“The avalanche safety training level 1 gives you basic tips on how to identify avalanche terrain,” said Horton, “how to use the forecast to make a trip plan as well as how to perform a rescue in case someone gets caught by an avalanche.”
