The "Nivocheck" tool is designed for practical avalanche science to estimate the local danger level according to the Werner Munter method. It's particularly useful in areas without an official avalanche bulletin or when one is not yet published. Mountain guides and experienced mountaineers can use "Nivocheck", which provides various reduction methods as decision-making aids. The tool has two parts: the first part estimates criteria for snow cover formation, while the second part estimates the danger level. Together, these parts result in the overall local avalanche danger level. This level can be combined with an elementary, quick check or a pro reduction method and used as a decision framework. Characteristics of the article include clear language, technical vocabulary, and an informative tone.
