Banjar Area I Khanag-Jalori Pass area (Kullu) 1 (Authorized Signatory) Danger Degree of Description Level Danger 1 Generally favorable conditions. Snowpack on slopes is generally stable with isolated instability. Movement is generally safe. UNLIKELY Rare avalanche activity is possible with high extreme load such as tremor activity, explosives or movement in formation zones 2 Generally favorable conditions. Small size triggering is possible on few extreme slopes. Valley movements are generally safe. LOW Movement on slopes with care. 3 Partly Unfavorable condition. Triggering is possible from most avalanche prone slope and reach the valley in medium size. MEDIUM Avoid movement on slopes. Route should be selected with care. Valley movement with precaution. 4 Unfavorable condition. Triggering is possible from all avalanche prone slopes and may reach the valley in large size. Suspend HIGH all movements. Airborne avalanches likely. 5 Very unfavorable condition. Numerous large avalanches are likely from all possible avalanche prone slopes even on moderately ALL ROUND steep terrain. Suspend all movements. Airborne avalanche likely and may follow unexpected paths. Disclaimer: Above information/warning bulletin is provided after analyzing the current instability of the snowpack, current snow and met data from the field stations and projected weather from models. It is our endeavour to assess the instability state as accurately as possible and draw a precise avalanche forecast/warning. However, precautions must be observed during all movements irrespective of the level of danger predicted as snow and weather conditions in mountain may vary rapidly in space and time. RESTRICTED .
