canadians are spearheading this one.  trying to revamp the danger scale so people do not have to consult a thesaurus to decipher the avalanche conditions.  please take the time to complete the survey.

also, house bill 1280 has made it from the house to the senate.  good progress!  in washington state, cops get fingerprinted once and are not required to get a background check unless suspicious.  your concealed carry license is a fingerprinting and background check and lasts 5 years.  pro patrollers have to get fingerprinted and background checked every single year to throw bombs.  this bill pushes it to every 3 years. 

but please, complete the survey because there are proposals to change the north american avalanche danger scale, and the end users input is requested.  there's some token prizes too for your time.  thanks!

my avalanche danger scale
1: you can die
2: you could die
3: you're likely to die
4: you'll probably die
5: your gonna die

I think that might get a better message across.
big skull and cross bones are good too.
