Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Tuesday 11.04.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The avalanche danger varies during the day. The danger is at its highest in steep sun-exposed slopes and in the afternoon when the air temperature is high. Avoid cornices. A persistent layer of facets is buried deep in the snowpack but is generally hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 10. April 2023

Det har kommet noe nysnø i fjellet, og denne er sannsynligvis vindpåvirket i ulik grad og fuktet høyt opp. I lavlandet er det våt snø etter mildvær og regn siste tiden. Mest snø i sørvendt terreng, minst i nordvendt.

For ca to uker siden ble det dannet svake lag med kantkorn på og rett under overflaten i alle himmelretninger. Disse svake lagene går nå mot stabilisering. Kantkornlaget under mildværsskare fra begynnelsen av mars er fortsatt intakt, men låst under skarelag og vanskelig å påvirke. 

Søndag er det observert våte løssnøskred i solvendte sider.

Mountain weather

Monday 10. April 2023

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southwest. -11 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Tuesday 11. April 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -12 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Skredfaren varierer i takt med solinnstrålingen gjennom dagen. Våte skred kan løsne av seg selv.

Svake lag dypere i snødekket virker vanskelig å påvirke, men skred på disse lagene kan bli store.
