Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Tuesday 09.02.2021

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes S, SW, W, NW above 700 masl

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 overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. 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 600 masl • Skredproblemer som ble funnet i denne observasjonen er mest aktuel der hvor snødekket er tynt.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above 800 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Over one meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl • kantkorn over gammel MF snö fra Okt/Nov
