The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) classifies mountain terrain into three categories of complexity [Simple, Challenging, Complex] with regard to avalanche exposure. The system offers two models: technical, and public communication. The technical model has been designed for users trained and skilled in evaluating the subtle nuances of avalanche terrain. The public communication model is designed for communicating technical concepts to the largely unaware public. 1, record 1, English, - Avalanche%20Terrain%20Exposure%20Scale

L'Échelle d'exposition en terrain avalancheux (ÉETA) classe les itinéraires de montagne en trois catégories [Simple, Exigeant, Complexe] selon leur degré d'exposition aux avalanches. Ce système comporte deux volets : le modèle technique et le modèle de communication publique. Le modèle technique est à l'intention des personnes ayant une expérience et une formation spécialisées leur permettant d'évaluer les variations subtiles du terrain avalancheux. Le modèle de communication publique sert à la diffusion de notions techniques exprimées dans un langage qui sera compris du grand public. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%89chelle%20d%26rsquo%3Bexposition%20en%20terrain%20avalancheux
