Consequence

Some landslides are expected. A few large events may occur. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Slushflows: A flow of water saturated snow. These slides can start in relatively flat terrain and seek towards streams and steep slopes.

Advice

Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge.

Description

Risk of slushflows is especially high in areas with more than 50 cm snow. The snow is fully water-saturated. Slushflows are triggered even in relatively gentle slopes, where water accumulates. Slushflows follow terrain depressions, and may develop into debris flows.
