Avalanche?
Ummm, that post below by John has me somewhat worried. Yeah, avalanche risk is supposedly 3/5. What does that mean? Does that mean that we have a 60% chance of getting caught in an avalanche? We are skiing for a week, so is that a 60% chance each day we're there?

I saw the title of this post and thought that you were about to ask me a question. Curse you and your misleading titles! :P
Does this 60% avalanche rating apply to the entire resort? I'm more willing to say that there is a 3/5 avalanche risk on some face of a specific mountain, but a 60% chance that the entire resort is just suddenly going to disappear under snow is a pretty cool (and scary) thought.

I see it differently: It means that the Avalanche that you will have will be a 3 out of 5 on the Avalanche scale. This means that you will rate a mention on the local news, and possibly state news, but will only get mentioned over here if Australian reporters get a hold of Australian casualties.

I think Lambie's guess is probably closer to the mark though :P
An avalanche warning in much the same way that we have the Fire Danger signs, perhaps?
