Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 23.12.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Many steep slopes SE between 800 masl and 600 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. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW above 1000 masl • Både kantkornet snø over skare og nedføyket overflaterim i høgden. Vanskelig å påvirke kantkorn over skare dypere i snødekket nå, men nedtrapping er mulig.

• 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. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 800 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl • Observerte kun østvendt over 1000 moh.
