Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Friday 29.12.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Dårlig binding mellom skare og folksnø

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl • Overliggende lag er ikke stort. Men det er dårlig binding i lagene. Finner det i vestvendte heng nå etter sost uvær
