Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Monday 19.12.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Drønn indikerer at det fortsatt er lett til svært lett å løse ut skred, tenker få heng. Vanskelig å løse ut i noen til mange, men kun noen som faktisk kan gi str 2 skred. Stor utbredelse på laget, men mange steiner og lignende som stikker opp og forankrer flaket over gjør at jeg tenker fortsatt str 2 skred selv hvis det begynner bli et voksent flak nå en del steder.

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. • Very easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, NW above 300 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • 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 • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW
