Avalanche Activity
• 26. Feb. During the day (+01:00) • Dry slab avalanche • One (1). 1 - Small. Very easy to trigger • E. Between 400 masl and 300 masl • Triggered small slab in lower glacier/moraine. Crown, 10-30 cm thick, 25m wide aporx. Didn't really go anywhere, not steep enough. Slab release on probably fresh snow or poor bonding. Didn't examine, so can't rule out small rime. Still a lot of wind transport of snow, and met both shooting cracks and whump sound on the tour. It's a bit tricky situation now so care needs be taken in identifying wind loading around steeper slopes. Also temperature have risen and made earlier slabs softer, so potentially you could start affect lower week layers. with forecasted wind I would say the scale maybe should be 3 for tomorrow as well, at least in places that collected a lot of this snow.
