LEXICON: consequential terrain

consequential terrain - / ˌkɒnsɪˈkwenʃl̩ teˈreɪn / - noun
Terrain where there will be consequences for making errors! Consequential terrain refers to any terrain where an error (eg: flawed snowpack analysis or fall) will have significant consequences for the rider. The more extreme the consequences (eg: death) the more consequential the terrain. Bottom line: If you don't like the potential consequences, choose a different line. Sometimes also referred to as the No Fall Line, this is an imaginary line drawn on a descent above which a fall will most likely lead to serious injury or death.

\\ I wouldn't feel happy riding a tech binding on consequential terrain.

Also known as:
no fall line
