Wind slab
- Above 300 m
South and Southeasterly winds and some snow will give wind slabs in lee areas. A few naturally triggered avalanches can occur. With cold temperatures, the formation of a weak layer between the wet old snow and cold and dry new snow is possible, be therefore aware of whomp-sounds and shooting cracks in the snowpack.

Med vind fra sør og sørøst og lett snøfall, vil det fortsatt være pålagring i leheng. Enkelte naturlig utløste skred ventes.
Vinden i helgen har sannsynligvis jobbet godt med snøen mange steder. I skogen på indre strøk kan det fortsatt finnes løs snø. Det finnes en mulighet for rask utvikling av kantkorn mellom tørr nysnø og våt gammel snø fra starten av forrige uke, men dette er ikke observert enda.
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Wind slabs are especially easy to trigger where they are thin or soft.
