Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Friday 04.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe travel conditions. Wind slabs on isolated features can be triggered in the alpine. Large differences are likely within the region.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Thursday 3. December 2020

Onsdag var det stigende temperaturer og kraftig vind. Torsdag er det kjøligere igjen.

Tirsdag var 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 nysnøgrensen går stadig opp og ned.

Mountain weather

Thursday 3. December 2020

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 4. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -10 °C to -5 °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

Snødekket vil trolig stabilisere seg i takt med at været blir kaldere og fokksnøen som har flyttet seg de siste dagene finner sin plass.

Det er trolig store forskjeller innad i regionen i både snømengde og hvor høyt mildværet onsdag har påvirket.
