Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 08.03.2023

Avalanche Problems

• 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.

Avalanche Problems

• Loose snow

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Vinden virker å ha tatt lite generelt, men lokalt kan det ha dannet seg ustabile fokksnøflak. Løste ut to små skred i den ferske fokksnøen på Lemetfjellet i går kveld. Pga lite vind antatt str 2 kun i få heng, evt 1 og noen.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Over one meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl • Kantkornproblemet dypt i snødekket består fortsatt i høyden. Observert på 1300m på Lemetfjellet i går på en konveks med tynt snødekke. Ga ikke utslag på noen tester.

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. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • E, SE, S between 800 masl and 500 masl • Det finnes slike skarelag på steder som har vært eksponert og hatt høy temperaturgradient. Men det er antakelig isolerte steder og ikke representativt for hele fjellsider da vi ikke klarer å lokalisere det mange steder og a
