Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Saturday 06.04.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, W, NW above 900 masl • Der det finst fokksnøflak over rimlaget, vil det være mulig å løyse ut små skred.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, NW above 700 masl • Noe usikker på utbredelsen. Avhengig av fokksnøflak. Myke og små flak. Virker å være lite spenninger og evne til å gå i brudd. Fant dette laget over skaren helt ned til tregrensa, men da bare under løs snø.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, W, NW above 800 masl • Svært usikkert på utbredelse.

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes SE, S, SW, W below 600 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE above 1400 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE above 1500 masl

Avalanche Problems

• 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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above 700 masl • Der det har snødd nok til at vinden har danna ustabile nysnøflak, eller lesider med store nok henteområder til å danne flak av betydning.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes S, SW, W • Mulig å løse ut snøfokk i lesider

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within a meter • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N • Overflaterimet lå flatt på stedet vi gravde, og var svært vanskelig å løse ut.
