Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Sunday 07.01.2024

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 overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, NW above 500 masl • med den økende vinden og mer snø vil skredene kunne bli store (str 3)

• Wet slab avalanche • Water pooling in/above snow layers • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Spontaneous release • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 500 masl • Dette er pr nå ikke et skredproblem men vil bli det ved stigende temperatur og store nedbørsmengder ifa regn.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, NW above 500 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • 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 near the ground • Within a meter • The overlying slab is soft. 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 unknown masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half 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. • Very easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E above 500 masl • Dette skredproblemet ble dannet ila ettermiddagen kvelden og var ikke tilstdede da snøprofilen ble gravd og stabilitetstestene ble gjennomført. Ved kveldstur på ski var det moderat snøfokk med vind fra SV.

Moderat snøfokk observert ved utover kvelden i ca 400moh.
