The Slope Evaluation Card is the component of the Avaluator decision-making aid that deals with slope-scale decisions. It employs a scoring system for avalanche conditions and terrain characteristics variables. After calculating the scores for each, the user applies these scores to a grid which suggests whether or not the slope in question is appropriate to travel on.
