Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Sunday 03.04.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • Very easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • Laget med fokksnø var ikke bunden til skarelaget som jeg fant under

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. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl • Svagt lag mellom to skarelag, det overliggende skarelaget er stedvis uttorka og har begynt å bli til store kantkon. Er som sprø kjeks. Funnet på 400moh, 700moh og 830moh i dag, sørvent. Funnet samme problem på Arnøya vestvendt 150moh for noen dager sia og på Ringvassøya 400moh. Laget gir drønn der overliggende skare er sprø/tunn, og skytende sprekker ( Uløya for noen dager sia 100moh) då overliggende fokksnø er hard.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • Unknown • SW • Kantkornet snø både over og under skarelaget, mest under. Dårlig forplantningsevne.
