Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Monday 31.01.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE • jag har funnet dette skredproblemet i østvendt side. Har ikke bevegt meg/gravd i terreng mot andre himmeretninger

Avalanche Problems

• Loose snow • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes SW • a weak layer from faceted snow around a meter down in the snowpack, hard to make it fracture but propagets easily.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • SW • It was difficult to get the weak layer to collapse - it took more hits than defined by the the ECTP to make the snowpack collapse. Once the weak layer collapsed though, it propagated through the entire 90x30 cm and left a clean fracture

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S above 0 masl • Fokksnø en har kommet med vind fra vestlig sektor. N og S er med siden topografien styrer vinden mye spesielt i N-S dalstrøk. Snødekket har ikke stabilisert seg siden onsdag.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 0 masl • Brudd i begerkrystall ved bakken. Litt misvisende når hele søylen var frigjort. Vet at der er andre kantkornlag der kanskje ville ha gått til brudd hvis der ikke hadde vært brudd ved bakken.
