Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Thursday 02.12.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Wednesday 1. December 2021

Snøoverflaten består at kald løssnø og det er observert rim i områder som ligger i le for vinden. Over skoggrensen har det vært noe vindtransport av snøen og snødekket er ujevnt fordelt.

En lenge kuldeperiode har dannet kantkorn rundt et skarelag ned i snødekket.

Det er snø til havnivå, men det et svært tynt snødekke i lavlandet.

Thursday 2. December 2021

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 er knyttet til fersk, ustabil fokksnø. Vær varsom i områder hvor nysnøen sprekker opp.

De vedvarende svake lagene i snødekket er vanskelig å påvirke, men utgjør fortsatt en fare.

Snødekket er fortsatt magert og det er fare for å treffe stein om man ferdes på ski.
