Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Sunday 18.03.2018

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 collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • Very likely • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S between unknown masl and 300 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • 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 • Likely • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes above 200 masl • Baser på vår tur i skogen i dag. Helt sikkert andre forhold på fjellet. Blir spennende påske i år :)

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • 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. • Easy to trigger • Likely • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE between 800 masl and 400 masl • Gjør seg gjeldende fra tregrensa og opp et stykke, toppene er harde, men i alpine terrengformasjoner i høyden kan det være fokksnøproblematikk.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • Unlikely • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl • Kjent kantkorn i alle sektorer fra tregrensa opp.
