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. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 700 masl • Lett å løyse ut, kan også løsne naturleg enkelte heng med stor pålagring. Mykje nysnø og vindtransportert snø kan gi enkelte store skred, mens fleire plassar vil være utsatt for str 2 skred.
