Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Thursday 17.03.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 800 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 600 masl • Nysnøen/fokksnøen - men dette laget er ikke tykt, virker veldig fast. Men med noe påvirkning kan det skli ut.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1100 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl • Kantkorn i og rundt skarelag nedover er i snøpakka er problemet nå sånn jeg ser det, men lagene virker ganske "døde" foreløpig. Mildvær og evt pålagring av snø kan gjøre lagene lettere å lese ut.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1100 masl

A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl • Det er flak over kantkort i få himmelrettningee. Men der det er vanskelig å løste ut er det få bratte heng. Det er svært vanskelig å løse ut i noen fratte heng. det er vil nok være lettere å påvirke hvor det overliggende laget er tynnere.

Det laget som ligger over skare er lettest å påvirke i dag. Finner ingen svake lag i fokksnøen i dag og får bare brudd i kantkornet. Usikker på om laget er vanskelig eller svært vanskelig å påvirke, men lander på svært vanskelig da jeg synes fg. 1 representerer de opplevde forholdene best.
