Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Saturday 05.12.2020

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 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)

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)

Friday 4. December 2020

Det har de siste dagene vært vekslende temperaturer med varierende nysnøgrense. Onsdag var det plussgrader opp til ca 500 moh og vindfullt, men fra torsdag ble det igjen kjøligere vær.

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen, men snødybden er økende med høyden. Snøoverflaten består primært av skaresnø. I høyfjellet ligger det enkelte lommer med fokksnø i forsenkninger der det samler seg snø.

Mountain weather

Friday 4. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -10 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 5. 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

Vind kombinert med litt nysnø kan lokalt danne ustabile flak med fokksnø i høyfjellet. Ellers er det generelt stabile forhold.
