Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Wednesday 03.01.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above 0 masl • Vind fra sø har laget flak av ulik hardhet, vinden har tatt også i åpne områder selv helt nede ved fjorden. Mens andre steder finnes fremdeles løs snø også i høyfjellet. Det er også store variasjoner over korte avstander i snøoverflatens hardhet. Noen steder er snøen så hard at det bærer på ski / krevende å kante skiene og skal mer til å løse ut.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl • Finnes kantkorn under og også over skare, trolig mest utviklet under. Finnes ikke alle steder.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 800 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • 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. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, W, NW above 900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, W, NW above unknown masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl
