Avalanche warning for region Jotunheimen Friday 01.12.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Kun sett på østlig aspekt mellom 1000-1400 moh

• 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 • 2 - Medium • Kun sett på østlig aspekt mellom 1000-1400 moh. Varierende snøhøyde i terrenget gjør at dyp til svakt lag mot bakken varierer.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes W, NW above 1100 masl

• 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 • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1100 masl

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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE between unknown masl and unknown masl • Har ikke gått i vestvendte heng så veit ikke om skredproblemet er der..

• 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 • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between unknown masl and 1000 masl • Antakeligvis i alle retninger der det er fokksnøflak over. Skredproblemet vil være mer fremtredende nå med tynt snødekke.
