Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 26.01.2021

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl • Enkelte stader ligg den eldre fokksnøen på kantkornlag, men skal generelt stor belastning for å påvirke dette laget no.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 800 masl • Fokksnø frå vindtransport laurdag, har hatt tid til å stabilisere seg, og skal større belastning til for å påvirke

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, W, NW above 600 masl • Gravde ikkje. Ein kjenner gammel fokksnø og lausere lag under med staven.
