Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Friday 11.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with 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 can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 10. December 2020

Det er generelt lite snø i lavlandet og i ytre strøk. Snødybden øker med høyden og innover i landet, men også her er det varierende snødekke med avblåste rabber og mer snø i forsenkninger.

Forrige helg ble det observert kantkorn mot bakken. Det anses foreløpig ikke som et eget skredproblem, men med lavere temperaturer inn mot helgen kan dette utvikle seg videre, særlig der snødekket er tynt. Vær oppmerksom på eventuelle faretegn som drønn og skytende sprekker.

Mountain weather

Thursday 10. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 11. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -11 °C to -3 °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

Rolige værforhold gir ingen endring i faregrad, men vær likevel varsom i bratte heng i høyden hvor det har samlet seg mer snø. Med lavere temperaturer inn mot helgen vil også potensielt kantkorn i snødekket kunne utvikle seg videre.
