Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 02.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The danger is most present in the Southern parts of the region. Use caution on recently loaded slopes in the alpine. Areas without new snow have generally safe travel conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Tuesday 1. December 2020

Tirsdag ettermiddag er det snøbyger i sørlige deler av regionen.
Det er generelt lite snø i regionen, og snøoverflaten består primært av skaresnø. I høyden ligger det noe mer snø i forsenkninger. Her er det fokksnøansamlinger.

Det har vært vekslende temperaturer de siste dagene, og snøgrensen går stadig opp og ned.

Wednesday 2. December 2020

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

Bygevær tirsdag kan lokalt ha dannet ustabile fokksnøflak, særlig i den sørlige delen av regionen. Vær varsom i områder som samler mest snø.

Onsdag kommer en ny runde med vind og stigende temperaturer. Dette gjør at snødekket minker på nytt, og i høyden vil snøen bli flyttet på.

Det er er ellers få områder som har nok snø til å gi særlig skredfare.
