Avalanche

Updated. Avalanches is expected to release in sun-exposed terrain. Wind-deposited snow from friday and saturday is expected to be difficult to trigger. However, there is uncertainty in the prevalence of a near-surface weak layer that might delay stabilization. Danger signs are a clear indication of the instability. (NVE)

Wet avalanches may occur if the sun comes out. Wind-deposited snow from friday and saturday can still be easy to trigger in a few areas. Cold new snow fell on a warm snow surface which might have created a near-surface layer of facets. Stabilization of the new snow from the weekend may therefore take a little longer. (NVE)

Wet avalanches may occur if the sun comes out. Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Cold new snow fell on a warm snow surface which might have created a near-surface layer of facets. In that case, avalanches can be more likely to trigger. Be aware of shooting cracks and whumpf sounds. (NVE)
