Title: Discussion of deformationâ· measurements in relation to snow slab release

Abstract: Snow stratigraphy studies at avalanche fracture lines indicate that the situation may be viewed essentially as a thick slab overlying a thin failure plane (often termed a sliding layer). If this simple picture is adopted, there are two basic types of deformation to be considered: 1. deformation in the body of the slab including shear deformation and settlement, and 2. deformation along the failure plane.
