How to read colours ?

Caution : « Green » doesn't mean « Easy » !

A green track can be extremely difficult to accomplish technically. Before attempting a track, one should at a minimum check/study the (i) technical difficulties of the track, (ii) skills of the related group, (iii) weather reports, (iv) avalanche/snow bulletins, and (v) terrain.

Within MountaiNow, the colour-code used to describe the Global Conditions of a track should be understood as follows:

Each user indicates a level of Global Conditions (i.e. a colour code) for his/her track.

Colour-coding is inherently subjective and to be interpreted in connection with the following elements: (i) Types of hazards identified on the track (see related icons, photos, comments); and (ii) Level of experience of contributors (see mention next to photos/comments).

	Good Conditions: Field conditions are favourable - relative to the technical level of the track
	Average Conditions: Field conditions imply minor difficulties - relative to the technical level of the track
	Bad Conditions: Field conditions imply major difficulties - relative to the technical level of the track
	Very Bad Conditions: Field conditions imply extreme difficulties - relative to the technical level of the track
