Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 13.01.2021

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 700 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 800 masl • Kantkorn og noe beger mellom smelteomvandlet snødekke og overliggende fokksnø fra den siste uka

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 500 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 500 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes SE, S, SW above unknown masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes E, SE above 600 masl • Skredproblemet aukar i takt med vinden.
