Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Wednesday 09.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with wind deposited snow.

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)

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.

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

Det kan komme litt nedbør, i hovedsak som regn i lavlandet og snø høyt til fjells. Temperaturøkning fører til ytterligere stabilisering av fokksnøflakene, og lite snø i fjellet gir generelt stabile forhold. Over tregrensa kan det lokalt finnes små lommer med lagdelt fokksnø som fortsatt er ustabil. Husk at selv små skred kan gi store konsekvenser ved terrengfeller.
