Avalanche

It can be easy to trigger avalanches in the alpine due to windslabs on persistent weak layers. Remote triggering is possible. Whumps and cracs are observed several places the last week. Remember even small avalanches can have large consequences near terrain traps and rocks. (NVE)

It can be easy to trigger avalanches in the alpine due to windslabs on persistent weak layers. Remote triggering is possible. Whumps and cracs are observed and skiers have triggered suprisingly wide avalanches. Remember even small avalanches can have large consequences near terrain traps and rocks. (NVE)

It can be easy to trigger avalanches in the alpine due to windslabs on persistent weak layers. Remote triggering is possible. Whumps and cracs are observed lately. Remember even small avalanches can have large consequences near terrain traps and rocks. (NVE)

It might be easy to trigger avalanches in the windslabs in the alpine. The windslabs are resting on a weak layer of surface hoar and facets. The snow distribution is in general sparse, but pay attention:The avalanche problem is present in areas where most of the snow is located, as gullies and other windprotected area (NVE)

The snow distribution is in general sparse, but the distribution of the avalanche problem corresponds very well to the areas with the best skiing conditions. It might be easy to trigger avalanches in those areas, and remember: Even small avalanches might have huge consequences in the rocky terrain! (NVE)
