This paper describes the application of nearest neighbor algorithms to the task of regional avalanche forecasting. Several problems had to be solved and are described: data used as explanatory variables (snow and weather data), data used as dependent variable (avalanche hazard judgments described with the European Avalanche Hazard Scale) and validation of the model by crossvalidation.
