Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Saturday 27.02.2021

Avalanche Problems

• 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 • 3 - Large • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 600 masl and unknown masl

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. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, W, NW above 500 masl • Fokk snø og nedføyket nysnø under mildvær skare

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl

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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE above 1600 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE between 1000 masl and 300 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • NE, E, SE, S between 800 masl and 200 masl

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 300 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 200 masl • Setter våte flakskred som går på gjennomfuktet kantkorn ved bakken som skredproblem på min obstur idag. Dette skredproblemmet gjelder foreløpig bare mest snødekket er helt gjennomfuktet ned til bakken, og vann samler seg i kantkornet der. På denne turen var det opp til ca 200moh. Fokksnøen virker ikke som et skredproblem her jeg er, da den er fuktig og godt bundet. Men dette kan være annerledes lengre opp.
