--description--

Given the snow depth and slope of a mountain, determine if there's an avalanche risk.

• The snow depth values are "Shallow", "Moderate", or "Deep".
• Slope values are "Gentle", "Steep", or "Very Steep".

Return "Safe" or "Risky" based on this table:

	"Shallow"	"Moderate"	"Deep"
"Gentle"	"Safe"	"Safe"	"Safe"
"Steep"	"Safe"	"Risky"	"Risky"
"Very Steep"	"Safe"	"Risky"	"Risky"
