Avalanche warning for region Jotunheimen Tuesday 19.04.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE above 1100 masl • Tørre skred i nord jo mer øst og sørøstlig vil en også kunne løsne våte flak. Da trolig av mindre str.

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Very easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes E, SE, S, SW between 1500 masl and 1000 masl • Overlapper litt med tørre føakskred. Men de tørre blir trolig noe større.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 1100 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half 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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes SE, S, SW, W above 1000 masl • Resultat av varme dager solvendt og kalde netter.
