Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 11.03.2018

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • Possible • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes SW, W, NW above 700 masl • Etter det et såg var snøen under ca 700 for påverka av varme til at den let seg transportere.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • Possible • Some steep slopes N, NE, W, NW above 700 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • Possible • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, W, NW above 600 masl • I enkelte områder kan fokksnølaget ligge på svakt lag av kantkorn eller nedføyka rim, som har betre evne til bruddforplanting.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • Possible • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 2500 masl • Eg har ikkje heilt oversikt over kva himmelretningar det finnes fokksnø over kant. Det virkar som det for det meste er hard fokksnø, blyant. Slik at det er nok vanskelig å påvirke som skiløpar unatatt der snødekket er tynnt.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • Likely • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, W, NW above 0 masl • Det ligg stadvis nokon mjuke flak, men lite teikn til brotforplantning. Fann rim innblanda i nysnø i profil.
