Avalanche warning for region Lofoten og Vesterålen Monday 22.04.2019

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 0 masl

• Wet slab avalanche • Wet snow/melting near the ground • Over one meter • 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 0 masl • Glideskred.

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Within a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes SE, S, SW above 400 masl

• Wet slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes above 600 masl • ECT avdekket kun smelteformer i bruddet (ikke kantkorn) , så velger skredproblem til «Dårlig binding mot skare».

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 0 masl

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • 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 400 masl • Dette laget som kollapset på 450 moh i dag. Det er ikke kantkorn, men trolig tidligere kantkorn som nå er smelteomvandlet. Grunnet mangel av passende skredproblem velger jeg kant under skare.
