Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between unknown masl and unknown masl • Regner med at det er dannet kant under isskaren etter mildværet på de fleste plasser opø til der mildværet ikke tok forrige uka.

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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 800 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl • Vi har to skarelag, med kantkorn under og over. Skal noe til å løse ut, men obs der snødekket er tynt.
