With the motivation to increase consistency between forecasters and warning services when assessing regional avalanche danger, a working group of the European Avalanche Warning Services (EAWS) was assigned to define the factors determining regional avalanche danger, and to develop a workflow and a look-up table - referred to as EAWS Matrix - assisting forecasters with the consistent assignment of a danger level. The workflow starts by an evaluation of avalanche problems relevant for the given region. Each avalanche problem is assessed according to three factors determining regional avalanche danger: i) snowpack stability, ii) the frequency of snowpack stability, and iii) avalanche size. Combining the three factors, each avalanche problem is assigned a danger level using the EAWS Matrix. The highest resulting level is issued for the region. Workflow, definitions, and the look-up table were accepted at the EAWS general assembly in 2022. We present workflow, definitions, and the corresponding EAWS Matrix, and the process and considerations that led to this proposal.
