Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Sunday 26.01.2020

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 overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl

A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • det er nedføyket svake lag i de fleste himmelretninger grunnet varierende vindretning siste tiden

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl • overflaterim observert i høyde over 600moh beskrevet i observasjon fra 18 jan. Dette rimlaget ligger nå stedvis nedføyket og gir grunnlag for et tredje skredproblem

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 900 masl and 500 masl • Forventer at kantkornlaget fortsatt er aktivt da mildvær siste tid ikke har påvirket snøen over 400moh siste periode. Forventer at kantkornlaget vil fortsette å utvikle seg de neste dagene der snødekket er tynt grunnet lave temperaturer de neste dagene.
