Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Wednesday 20.04.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
The danger increases throughout the day. Solar radiation will weaken the snow surface. Spontaneous released wet avalanches and wet avalanches triggered by a skier 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).

Loose 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)

Tuesday 19. April 2022

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

Snøoverflaten er våt høyt til fjells og snødekket er isotermt (null grader igjennom hele snødekket) opp til ca 700-900 moh.

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

Mountain weather

Tuesday 19. April 2022

Wednesday 20. April 2022

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

Klarvær, utstråling og nattefrost gjør at snødekket stabilisere seg i løpet av natten, men når temperaturen stiger og solen varmer opp snøen utover dagen øker skredfaren.

I bratt solvendt terreng er det fare for naturlig utløste skred, men våte skred kan også løses ut av an skikjører.

Tidlig på dagen og i skyggefulle områder vil skredfaren være lavere.
