Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Tuesday 27.12.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E between unknown masl and unknown masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, NW above unknown masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. 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, NW between unknown masl and unknown masl

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 • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, W, NW above 500 masl • Lett til svært lett å løse ut skred i den ferske fokksnøen, men foreløpig begrenset med snøtransport og dermed begrenset størrelse på evt. skred.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Tror det er få steder det er lett å løse ut store skred på kantkornlaget ut fra dagens tur. Har vanskelig å se for meg at noe kan løsne naturlig om ikke snøtransporten tar seg opp/er vesentlig større andre steder i regionen. Men laget er definitivt til stede og kan påvirkes der snødekket er tynnere.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • N, NE, NW above 500 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. 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 • KK over/under skare, og ved bakken.
