Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Thursday 19.01.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, SW, W, NW above 1000 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within a meter • 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 900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 900 masl • Kantkornlag ved bakken fins fortsatt. Det uttaler seg ikke så mye lenger i form av drønn og oppsprekking, men det fins stort sett overalt. Det begynner å bli gjemt under mye snø og til dels bærende fokksnøflak.

• 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 SW, W, NW above 900 masl • Fersk fokksnø fins i heng mot vest. Stort sett for myke dyner til å forplante brudd, men kan ikke utelukkes og typisk omkring rygger der vind har tatt godt.

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 overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes SW, W, NW above 1000 masl • Jeg tenker at dette er største skredproblem i dag. Pga mye vind var det vanskelig graveforhold og jeg fikk ikke gravd til bunn, men kantkornet ligger fortsatt der og er ett problem slik det er skrevet i varselet
