Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Wednesday 06.04.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes E, SE, S, SW, W above 1400 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes E, SE, S, SW, W above 600 masl • Kun ut frå mine observasjonar i dag så er det vanskeleg å seie kor utbreidt flakskredproblemet er. Andre observasjonar frå regionen tilseier str 3.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW, W above 600 masl • Skredstr må sjåast i samangheng med underliggande svake lag. Det kan gjere skreda større. Både i breidde og djupn.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 700 masl • Usikker på om dette egentlig er så aktivt.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes E, SE, S, SW, W above 700 masl • Knytt til rim over solskare. Fram til og med tysdag har me ikkje hatt eit skikkelig flak oppå d. Sjølve svake laget har ikkje endra seg sidan natt til laurdag då det vart skapt.

• Loose dry avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes SE, S, SW, W above 500 masl • Solutløyst

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • Fikk utslag på LBT i dette laget, men måtte en del til for å få brudd. Ligger oppå solskare.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes E, SE, S, SW, W above 900 masl • Knytt til solskare.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl • Svært usikkert. Men kan vel tenkast. Usikker på om d bør vere med i varsel.

• 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 • Few steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW, W above 800 masl

• Loose dry avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes SE, S, SW, W above 900 masl • Viss sol.

• Loose dry avalanche • Loose snow • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW
