Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Saturday 13.03.2021

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • N, S, SW, W, NW • Wind slabs here were still shearing cleanly in hand profiles within the preserved precip particles, but were not reactive to skier's weight and didn't feel terribly energetic. So probably still lett å løse ut trending towards vanskelig tomorrow. Here there was a very firm old snow surface so i wasn't very worried about deeper instabilities.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, W, NW • I dag fant vi et nedføyket nysnø problem i området svalsatveien. Nysnø fra de siste par dager har en tynn iskare på toppen nå (the new snow is capped by thin humidity crust på engelsk) og en stor temperatur gradient over nysnøen vil føre til rask kantkorn utvikling i dette laget. For øyeblikket på dette stedet er det ikke et veldig stort problem pga begresent snø over problemet. I andre steder i region kan skred str bli større.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW
