Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Saturday 05.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution on recently loaded slopes in the alpine. Large differences are expected within the region. The forecast is very uncertain due to the lack of field observations.

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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Under skoggrensen er det svært lite eller ingen snø. Over 500 moh ligger det en liten såle av skaresnø. Flekkvis ligger det noe mer snø i forsenkninger og her er det fokksnøansamlinger.

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

Med vind og litt påfyll av nysnø kan det lokalt dannes små lommer med ustabil fokksnø som er lett å løse ut. Ellers stabile forhold.

Det er trolig lite snø igjen i lavlandet.
