Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Monday 06.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be careful in sun exposed steep slopes and in areas with wind slabs at higher elevations.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 5. May 2024

Forrige uke ble snødekket påvirket av plussgrader og litt regn opp til ca 1200 moh. Siden fredag har temperaturen sunket og snødekke har gradvis fryst på igjen.

Det er stedvis lite snø under 200 moh.

Kantkornlag dypere i snødekket er trolig fortsatt tilstede nordvendt høyt til fjells, men lite sannsynlig å påvirke.

Onsdag ble det observert noen naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred i NØ-vendt terreng ca 1000 moh.

Mountain weather

Sunday 5. May 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -10 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 6. May 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from north. -10 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Små lommer av fokksnø dannet de siste dagene, stort sett stabiliseres disse raskt, men enkelte steder kan de ha lagt seg på et svakt lag. Disse kan fortsatt være lett å løse ut.

Det kan fortsatt være mulig å løse ut små våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng der snøen enda er myk og våt.

Hold god avstand til skavler.
