Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 07.12.2020

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 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)

Sunday 6. December 2020

I fjellet er snøen ujevnt fordelt i terrenget på grunn av vindtransport. Utsatte områder som rygger og knauser er avblåst ned til bakken. Flekkvis ligger det noe mer snø i forsenkninger og her er det fokksnøansamlinger.

Det er generelt lite snø i fjellet, men observasjoner tyder på at det er mest snø i sørlige og indre deler av regionen.

Under skoggrensa er det svært lite eller ingen snø.

Mountain weather

Sunday 6. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -7 °C to -2 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 7. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -9 °C to 0 °C at 700 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

Over tregrensa kan det lokalt finnes små lommer med lagdelt fokksnø som kan være lett å løse ut. Husk at selv små skred kan gi store konsekvenser ved terrengfeller.

Ellers gir lite snø i fjellet og begrenset med nedbør generelt stabile forhold.
