Avalanche warning for region Vest-Finnmark Friday 10.02.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S above 400 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • The overlying slab is soft. • Very easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes NE, E • Er kun noen få bratte heng. Lite nedbør etter at skarelaget har satt seg.

Avalanche Problems

• Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 300 masl and 200 masl • Med 3 lag med skare er der svært vanskelig å få utløst skred på det svake laget mot bakken.

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E above 400 masl • Blåst kraftig i fra sv og transportert nysnyen som kom i går ettermiddag til lesider, over 400 meter var det nesten ikke noe igjen i s, sv og vestlige eksponering. Under 300 moh var snyen kram og var lite vindpåvirket.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Spontaneous release • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl • Mye fuktpåvirket under 400 moh, frosset på i natt, og vind har herjet overalt.

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes N, NE, NW above 400 masl • Snøfokk i høyfjellet i dag.
