Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Monday 30.01.2023

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. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes NE, E, SE, S, SW above 300 masl • Mitt inntrykk fra dagens tur er at det er generelt lite respons i fokksnøen fra helga. Stort sett vil jeg anta at det er lett å løse ut str.1 skred i fokksnøen, men noen få steder også str.2.

• 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. • Difficult to trigger • 4 - Very large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Har ingen ny informasjon om dette skredproblemet egentlig. Store kantkorn finnes i nedre del av snødekket mange steder. Ingen drønn eller andre faretegn i dag, men så noen dype sprekker i leheng etter pålagring forrige uke. Det er absolutt mulig å påvirke, krever generelt stor tillegsbelastning, men vanskelig å utelukke at det er mulig å løse ut ved liten tillegsbelastning enkelte steder..

• Dry slab avalanche • Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes SE, S above unknown masl

A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Easy to trigger • 3 - Large • N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above unknown masl • Vil tro at kk laget er i alle exp. Der hvor det er fokksnø bør man være obs.
