Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Friday 04.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Poor bonding between crust and overlying 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

Det er generelt lite snø, særlig i lavlandet og i ytre strøk. Snødybden i høyden varierer mye, med lite snø på rygger og rabber, og mer snø i forsenkninger.

Tirsdag kom det 5-10 cm nysnø.

Onsdag var det mildvær igjen med plussgrader opp til 6-700 moh i ytre strøk, noe kjøligere i indre deler av regionen.

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

Minkende vind og oppholdsvær ventes å føre til at fokksnøflak fra de siste dager stabiliseres videre. Vær varsom hvis det foregår vindtransport av snø slik at det legger seg fersk fokksnø i leområder.
