Consequence

Some slush slides are expected. A few large events may occur. Slush slides: A flow of waterlogged snow. These landslides can start in relatively flat terrain and seek towards streams and steep slopes.

Description

Risk of slush flows is especially high in areas with more than 40-50 cm snow. The snow is fully water-saturated. Slush flows are triggered even in gentle slopes, where water accumulates. Slush flows follow terrain depressions and may develop into debris flows.
