Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Tuesday 19.04.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
The danger increases throughout the day. Intense solar radiation will weaken the snow surface. Large wet avalanches are possible on sunny slopes.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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)

I påsken var det mildt i regionen og noe nedbør som regn høyt til fjells.

Snøoverflaten er våt høyt til fjells.

Det svake laget av kantkorn fra slutten av mars er nå trolig ødelagt av mildvær mange steder.

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

Skredfaren vil øke utover dagen.

Store våte løssnøskred kan gå når sola har fått stekt lenge.

Det vil være lett for skiløpere å løse ut skred i bratte solhellinger.

Områder uten soloppvarming ventes å ha stabile forhold.
