Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within a meter • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 700 masl • Stort sett vestvendte heng da siste dagene var det østavær det siste været kom på.

• Loose wet avalanche • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, NW above 500 masl • Soloppvarming av snødekket.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, S, SW, W, NW above 800 masl

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes SE, S, SW, W below 1000 masl

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 collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes SW, W, NW above 700 masl • Framstår som fokksnøproblem med svakt lag i sjikt i fokksnøen. Det svake laget har begynnende fasettering. Det er fokksnø i alle hengretninger, men mest i vestvendt terrenget. Etter nattekulden er solpåvirkningen først sent på dagen over 800 moh.
