Avalanche warning for region Lofoten og Vesterålen Monday 17.01.2022

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, NW above 400 masl • Ingen skytende sprekker. Små områder med flak. Str to er kun er nok få heng.

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 collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • NE, E, SE, S, SW above 200 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within a meter • Very easy to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S above 300 masl • Antar dette pga nysnømengdene.

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW

Avalanche Problems

• Loose dry avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • SW, W, NW above 300 masl

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 400 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • NE, E, SE, S, SW above 500 masl • Antakelser! Har ikke observert dette, men ut ifra vær burde det blir slikt. Er såpass mye vær at det kanskje kan være fare for naturlig utløste skred.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, SE above 400 masl • Haglbyger både i går og i dag. Observert opphopning av graupel i enkelte lesider (430moh).

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • 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. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 600 masl and 300 masl • Se den andre observasjonen.
