Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 22.04.2018

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • Possible • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 1100 masl and 500 masl • Når det begynner å regne kan dette gi nokon våte laussnøskred i bratt terreng

• 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, NW above 1000 masl

• Wet slab avalanche • Wet snow/melting near the ground • Spontaneous release • Possible • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half 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, NW above 1000 masl • Nedre høgde: 1000moh. Har ikkje gravd i SØ/V og sett om skarelaget er der også.

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Spontaneous release • Possible • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • 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 900 masl • Under 900 er kantkornet helt eller delvis nøytralisert. Gradvis mindre smeltepåvirka oppover, men oppleves ikke spesielt sensitivt.

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • Likely • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1500 masl • Toppen av snødekket er vått hvertfall opptil 1200, observert fra avstand vil jeg anslå at det hvertfall er vått opptil 1500.
