Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Saturday 29.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in sun-exposed aspects and below the zero degree line for natural triggered avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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)

Friday 28. May 2021

Snøen er de fleste steder smelteomdannet og homogen, frossen i skyggesider og i høyda, våt i lavtliggende områder og der sola tar. Snøgrense varierer fra 50-400moh.

Snøen er likevel lagdelt i høyden, og det finnes både harde skarelag der vann kan hope seg opp, og gamle kantkornlag dypt ned i snødekket og ved bakken. De gamle kantkornlagene har begynt å bli smelteomvandlet, og finnes hovedsaklig høyt til fjells, men det gikk flakskred på de i starten av forrige uke i naboregionen Tromsø.

Mountain weather

Friday 28. May 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from west. -1 °C to 5 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 29. May 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the afternoon. -2 °C to 6 °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

Generelt er det stabil snø. Under mildværsgrensa og der solen tar tak kan skikjørere løse ut våte løssnøskred. Vær varsom der snøen er svært våt, særlig i bratte heng med terrengfeller. Om vann trenger ned til de gamle vedvarende svake laga kan det gå store flakskred, men lav sannsynlighet for at dette intreffer.
