Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Sunday 14.01.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Loose dry 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 • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1000 masl • Sluff

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Over one 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 500 masl • Kk er nedbrutt opp til over tregrensa. Ligger nå et sementere de lag med skare lengre opp i snødekket. Greit å vite, men egentlig ikke et potent skredproblem.

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Vi har skiftende vind nå, med betydelig mengde snø tilgjengelig for transport. Følg med på vær, og lokale forskjeller.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • 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 • above 300 masl • Usikker på utbredelse og sektorer. Men tenker det gjelder alle sektorer ut fra været som har vært ?

• 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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes E, SE, S above 300 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. The overlying slab is soft. • Some steep slopes above unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • 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. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • N, NE, E, SE, W, NW between unknown masl and unknown 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. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 0 masl • Skriver aller himmelretninger og høyder. Er skiftende vindrettninger og nysnøsø tilgjenglig fortransport.
