Danger & Closure
X-shaped markers: Indicate a temporary hazard. Do not cross them.
Official Closure: A rope with flags or a yellow-and-black sign indicates that the trail is closed.
Warning Signs
Triangular signs with a yellow background indicate a specific hazard (intersection, black ice, crevasse). Slow down and be alert.
Avalanche Risk
Conditions are generally favorable. The snowpack is well stabilized on most slopes.
Instability is generally limited to a few slopes. On a few sufficiently steep slopes, the snowpack is only moderately stable. Elsewhere, it is well stabilized.
Significant instability, sometimes on many slopes. On many sufficiently steep slopes, the snowpack is only moderately to weakly stabilized.
Severe instability on many slopes. The snowpack is only slightly stabilized on most slopes that are steep enough.
Very unfavorable conditions. The snowpack is unstable across the board.
