Definition
Determine the Sensitivity to Triggers based on what kind of triggering will initiate avalanches of any size within the defined location.
| Sensitivty | Natural Triggers | Human Triggers | Explosive Triggers | Cornice Triggers | |
| Size | Result | ||||
| Unreactive | No avalanches | No avalanches | Very large explosives | No slab | No slab from very large cornice fall |
| Stubborn | Few | Difficult to trigger | Large explosives & air blast | Some | Large |
| Touchy | Several | Easy to trigger | Single hand charge | Many | Medium |
| Very Touchy | Numerous | Triggering certain | Any size | Numerous | Any size |
| Description of observation | Natural avalanche occurrence | Ease of triggering by a single human | Size of explosive and effect | Size of cornice that will trigger a slab | |
