Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Tuesday 01.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow cover is very sparse. In the high alpine, smaller wind slabs can be triggered.

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

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)

Monday 30. November 2020

Det er generelt lite snø og snødekket er primært skaresnø. I høyden ligger det noe mer snø i forsenkninger og her er det fokksnøansamlinger.

Det har vært vekslende temperaturer og snøgrensen går stadig opp og ned.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 1. December 2020

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Vær varsom i leområder over skoggrensen hvor nysnø og vind kan danne ustabile områder med fokksnø. Det er ventet noe lavere nysnøgrense. Snømengdene er fortsatt små og eventuelle skred vil følgelig bli små.
