Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Tuesday 26.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Showers will result in local differences in new snow amount and danger level within the region. Avoid areas with fresh wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Monday 25. April 2022

Det er kommet noen få cm med nysnø i fjellet de siste par dagene. I lavereliggende områder har det vært mildt de siste dagene, men kaldere vær gjør at snødekket fryser til mange steder. Det gamle snødekket er i stor grad smelteomvandlet.

Det er observert et lag av kantkorn 30-40 cm ned i snødekket, men det virker å være gjennomfuktet og uten evne til å propagere et brudd.

Mountain weather

Monday 25. April 2022

3-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -6 °C to 1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 26. April 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -10 °C to -4 °C at 700 m a.s.l. 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

Det vil være lett å løse ut skred i den ferske vindtransporterte snøen. Samtidig er det meldt bygevær som vil gi lokale forskjeller i vindstyrke og nedbørsmengde. For ski- og brettkjørere er det viktig å omstille seg fra ferdsel på våt vårsnø, tilbake til lagdelt vintersnø.
