Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Friday 23.02.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 500 masl • Litt småting i vegen i helvettesbakkane (Årøy), mykje snø i sikringsgjerde. Må nok litt lavare enn der turen min starta i dag. Hørte på radioen at vegen til Veitostrand var stengt i dag tidleg og.

• 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 • Some steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above 800 masl • Dei aller ferskaste flaka svært lette å løyse ut, men tynne og mjuke her strl.1. Veit ikkje korleis det var over 1000moh.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 800 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 above 900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• 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 • 1 - Small • N, NE, NW above 900 masl • Det finnes eit svakt lag med nedføyka nysnø som er ganske lett å løyse ut men har dårleg forplantningevne (på teststed). Overliggende lag er generelt rundt +/-15cm meir eller mindre vindpakka snø, så skreda vil ikkje bli så store.

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 overlying slab is soft. • Very easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • SW, W, NW above 800 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl • Tipper en mellomting mellom lett og vanskelig å løse ut slik forholdene er nå, iallefall i dette området.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above 1200 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 900 masl • Mulig str3 i noen heng. Usikker på utløsbarhet, men kan være lett i noen få områder.
