Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 06.12.2017

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • Possible • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1500 masl

• Wet slab avalanche • Water pooling in/above snow layers • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Spontaneous release • Possible • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S above 1000 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. • Spontaneous release • Likely • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE above 500 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • Possible • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 700 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • Possible • 3 - Large • NE, E, SE, S above 1300 masl • Det kan være områder der rimlaget frå forrige veke ligg bevart under nysnøen frå laurdag, i høgareliggande fjellområder. Var mildvær i alle fall opp til 1200 moh laurdag.
