Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 21.02.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

Avalanche Problems

• 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 overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S above 400 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within a meter • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, NW • Vinden har variert i retning i området, og fokksnøen er lastet inn i forskjellige rettninger. Mest V-S-SØ himmelretning her. I nordlige sider er det ganske avblåst.
