Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 17.03.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1200 masl

• 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. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes S, SW, W above 1000 masl • Såg enkelte tynne ferske flakskred mot SV, str 1-2, opp av Grasdalstjern og eitt str 2 NØ for Hamseviken i Reinheimen/Skjåk.

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 • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, SW, W, NW above 800 masl • Fersk vindtransport som ein kan løyse ut som små skred. Kan tenkast å komme opp i str 2 enkelte stader.

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes SE, S, SW, W between 1300 masl and 700 masl • Der sola står på, kan nysnøen gi naturleg utløyste skred i brattheng. Mest utsatt i bratt terreng med framstikkande klipper og stein som blir oppvarma av sola

• 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 • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 700 masl • Der det legg seg fersk vindtransportert snø. Mest sannsynlig med str 1, enkelte str 2 der det er store henteområder.
