Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Thursday 28.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
It is possible to trigger persistent weak layers under small wind slabs. Deeper persistent weak layers are perhaps possible to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2). Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of surface hoar

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)

Wednesday 27. March 2024

Det er generelt ei hard snøoverflate med litt laussnø og fokksnø over i høgda. I bratte solvendte sider kan snøen tine litt på dagen og fryse til på natta.

Under den nyaste snøen verkar det å vere lag av rim og/eller kantkorn. Det finnast også vedvarande svake lag djupare i snødekket, men det er usikkert kor lett det er å påverke desse.

I helga gjekk det flakskred i regionen og det har gått nokre skred i bratte solvendte sider dei siste dagane.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 27. March 2024

1-4 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -15 °C to -7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 28. March 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -17 °C to -6 °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

Generelt verker det å vere stabile tilhøve, men det er lite observasjonsgrunnlag frå regionen.

Det finnast vedvarande svake lag i regionen. Det skal truleg ein del til å løyse ut skred på desse, men om ein gjer det kan skred bli store.

Om det blir sol kan det gå lausnøskred i bratte solvendte sider.
