Avalanche warning for region Jotunheimen Monday 26.04.2021

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1300 masl • Under 1200-1300moh er det trolig mye smelteformer i dekke nå, ulikt om du er i sol eller skyggesider. Har ikke gravd å sjekket nøye så liten antagelse dette. Over denne høyde finnes fortatt kantkorn det finnes nok både nedføyket / over skare / under skare. For det meste hard bærende fokksnø / skare over.

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Water pooling in/above snow layers • Over one meter • Spontaneous release • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes SE, S, SW, W below 1200 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE above 1200 masl

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes SE, S, SW, W, NW

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • Few steep slopes NW between 1600 masl and 1500 masl • Tykkelsen på fokksnølaget over det svake laget varierer stort i området. 100m lengre SV var tykkelsen på fokksnølaget 120cm minimum.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE above 1500 masl
