Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Monday 26.02.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but wind slabs can be present in isolated features. Facets have been observed under layers of crust, but are not expected to give avalanche problems due to hard snow covering the weak layer.

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)

Poor bonding between crust and overlying 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)

Sunday 25. February 2018

Det er lenge siden sist snøfall av betydning. Snødekket i fjellet er preget av skare etter mildværet først i januar, og hardpakket fokksnø etter kraftig vind fra SØ-S.
Det er observert rim på snøoverflaten.

Det er observert kantkorn i snødekket under skarelag, men dette er de fleste steder beskyttet av hard overliggende snø.

Fredag blåste det kuling fra SØ-Ø på utsatte steder og det ble observert snøføyk i fjellet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 25. February 2018

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -22 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 26. February 2018

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -19 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Rolige værforhold gir ingen vesentlige endringer i skredfaren. Snødekket vurderes generelt som stabilt, men i isolerte områder kan det finnes små fokksnøflak etter vinden på fredag som er mulig å løse ut.
Enkelte steder kan det være mulig å påvirke kantkornlag nede i snødekket, men sannsynligheten er liten.
