Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Saturday 09.03.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, NW above 500 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Over one meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, NW above unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, NW between unknown masl and unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 300 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE, S above 800 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, NW between 700 masl and 300 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 800 masl and 300 masl • Ingen direkte observasjon som tilsier at dette skredproblem var tilstede på dagens obstur, men det kan potensielt finnes andre steder i regionen.

• 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). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, NW between unknown masl and unknown masl • The PWL still exists in SE Lyngen. Found it on 400masl and 800masl. It is in general either isolated under very strong slabs or in the surface where the wind has removed the snow above. It requires precision to be able trigger something on this but the consequences of an avalanche on this cant be ignored.
