Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 22.01.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E above 600 masl • Ikke et reelt skredproblem enda. Kantkorn ikke utviklet godt nok, men velger å ta det med da dette må følges utover uka

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 overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very easy to trigger • Some steep slopes N, SW, W, NW above 200 masl • kraftig vind fra Ø har ført til fersk fokksnø i leheng i V eksposisjoner

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying 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. • Very easy to trigger • Some steep slopes N, SW, W, NW above 200 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • 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. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S above 500 masl • Vanskelig å identifisere da det er et tynt lag midt i fokksnøen. Oppstått pga klarvær og kuldeperiode (omdanning fra nysnø mot kantkorn).

• 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. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl
