This is a short summary of the avlanche forecast. It lacks details and descriptions availabale only in the swedish forecast.
Avalanche problem
Persistent slabs
Persistent weak layers can produce avalanches for days, weeks or even months, making them especially dangerous and tricky. Manage the risk by making conservative terrain choices. Can be triggered by light loads and slabs often propagate in surprising and unpredictable ways.
Although the avalanche problem might not obvious you could trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Heavier loads like groups of people, machines or cornice falls increase likelihood of triggering.
Avalanches can get large enough and have the force to bury and destroy trucks and trains, buildings and areas of forest. When people are caught by avalanches of this size, chances for survival are minimal.
