Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Friday 03.02.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW between 1100 masl and 300 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Some steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 1800 masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between unknown masl and unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within a meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • Easy to trigger • 4 - Very large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes NE, E, SE, S above unknown 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. • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW above unknown masl

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes SE, S between unknown masl and unknown masl • I områder tidligere avblåst av sørlig vind som fått påfyllning fra N. Store krystaller som blitt godt bevart tross mildværet. Gikk en god del på dette idag men ingen drønn eller annet faretegn.
