Avalanche warning for region Jotunheimen Tuesday 09.06.2020

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Water pooling in/above snow layers • Within a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, W, NW above unknown masl

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 2000 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes SE, S, SW, W above 1800 masl • Vil nok ok komme noen skred lavere enn 1800 moh også, men hovedaktiviteten er i siste nysnøen. På grunn av kjøligere vær, vedvarer problemet litt lenger.

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within a meter • Spontaneous release • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1800 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1700 masl • Svake laget var vått, tenderer kanskje mer til MF enn FC.

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Very easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes SE, S, SW above 1800 masl • Våt nysnø sluffer svært lett og glir godt og bygger seg raskt opp i brattere heng.

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Water pooling in/above snow layers • Within a meter • Spontaneous release • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes E, SE, S, SW, W • Typisk reaksjon etter et par dager med nysnø og litt vind.
