Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Wednesday 18.01.2023

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 • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, W, NW above 600 masl • Fikk utslag i fokksnøflak med middels belastning i lille blokk test. Måtte stor belastning til for å få utslag mellom skarelag lengre ned i snøpakka.

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • 2 - Medium • N, NE, E, NW above unknown masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, W, NW above 600 masl • Fokksnøen fra tirsdag er i ferd med å stabilisere seg og det skal stor belastning til for å løse ut skred her.

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust • 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. • Easy to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW above 500 masl • Problemet finnes i mindre lommer i terrenget der vinden ikke har tatt så hardt. Det er foreløpig begrenset med flakdannelser over.
