Avalanche warning for region Jotunheimen Saturday 02.03.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, SW, W, NW between 1500 masl and 1000 masl • Kanskje størrelse 1. Kan antas at skredproblemet finnes i heng som er fra sørvest til nord.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Over one meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 1500 masl and 1000 masl • Kan antas at dette er i alle himmelretninger. Vi fant et skarelag veldig langt ned i snødekket der vi gravde, men det var et leheng så usikker på om det var 2.februar-skarelaget eller ei.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, W, NW • Fersk fokksnø stabiliserer seg ganske raskt mtp gunstige temperaturer, men er mulig å løse ut i noen heng
