Abstract: We present an adaptation of the Avaluator to obtain safety recommendations for sidecountry trips. We zoned with ATES and set a list of trips in two Catalan ski resorts. Every trip was split in sections depending on altitude and aspect bands. This gave us more precision in obtaining a level of avalanche hazard for each section before applying the Avaluator. This method brought good results but evidenced a number of weaknesses. These weaknesses are what we want to discuss with the community.
