Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Monday 08.01.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 800 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • 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 • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, W, NW above 1000 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, W, NW above 1000 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, W, NW above 900 masl • Vin tro dette er gjeldene fra 900-1200 (maks 1300)

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes

Avalanche Problems

Gikk i brudd med stor tillegsbelastning (2 personer som gikk tett).

Lett men ikke glatt. Det finnes godt utviklet vvsl mellom porøs skare og hard mildværrskare. Ut fra det jeg så i dag, ser det ut som om enkelte heng har fått lastet inn nok til at det kan utgjør str3, men begrenser seg til få eller svært få steder.vil trolig være vanskelig å løse ut på str 3, men lett på str2.
