Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Sunday 05.02.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • 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. • Easy to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl • Overalt der det ligger fokksnø over skarelaget.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • 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 • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 400 masl • Det har blåst østlig, så i dag fant vi problemet i vestlig heng. Men avhengig av terrenget og hva vi har sett idag ligger det snø i andre himmelrettninger å.

• Loose dry avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. 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 400 masl • I indre deler finner man dette problemet under 400moh også.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW • Jeg vet ikke hvor langt ned dette problemet går. Ser at varselet sier 400 moh og opp

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. 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 below unknown masl • Har ikke gravd andre plasser men ut i fra det vi har sett og været som har vært kan vi anta at problemet finnes i alle himmelretninger der vi har hatt mildvær og det er snø.
