Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 13.03.2024

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow • Within half a meter • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes E, S, W • Sun crust/melt crust binds poorly over RG layer. Very small slab and most likely not an issue in most places. However there is still a possiblikitt with a thicker overlying slab something could happen.

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • Where the snow pack is thin is the most dangerous. Large differences in overlying slab depth can provide more protection for the weak layer.

However as the weak layer is becoming more moist it's potentially more sensitive to triggering?

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 1000 masl and 600 masl

• 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 • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, NW above 600 masl • finner ingen fersk fokksnø i dag, men gårsdagens obstur viste lett fokksnø med små flak
