• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Loose dry avalanche • Loose snow • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE above 800 masl

• 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 • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S above 1000 masl • Mest utsatt bak rygger ved renner og andre utsatte plasser.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • 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 • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl
