Avalanche-start Layer Formation

Avalanche-Start Layer Formation is a snowpack stratigraphy concept denoting a distinct weak layer within the snowpack that initiates avalanche release by enabling fracture propagation under stress, differentiating it from other layers by its role as the primary failure plane in avalanche dynamics.
