Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

I fjellet er det stort sett hardt og berande snødekke. Det er avblåst til bart fjell eller skare mange stader. Mildvær vil gje eit litt mjukare snødekke.

Det er svake kantkornlag i stadig utvikling som opprettheld skredproblemet. Kantkornlaget kan bli påvirka der overliggande lag er mjukare. Typiske slike stader er skjerma små botner over mildværsgrensa.

Det vil være lokale variasjonar på utbreiing av skredproblemet.
