Avalanche warning for region Jotunheimen Thursday 07.12.2023

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 • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes NE, E, SE above 1200 masl • kredproblemet finnes under all snøen (som vanlig i jotunheimen) men det virker som det ikke er flak av betydning i andre enn østvendte leheng. Også her er det bare flak enkelte steder og terreng stein og busker stikker opp.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • Av mangel på valg for svakt lag satt jeg over skare, men det er mer et 4F kantkorn lag over et P lag. Kan dette 4F laget være en omdannet skare?

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, NW above 1000 masl
