Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Sunday 24.04.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here, or they can release when the temperature increases. At high altitudes, a persistent layer of facets can be buried deep in the snowpack in isolated areas.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Saturday 23. April 2022

Snødekket har vært fuktet til fjelltopphøyde tidligere i uken, og er i lavlandet vått opp til ca 500-600 moh. Over dette har det kommet litt nysnø torsdag-fredag, som igjen kan ha blitt fuktet av solen på lørdag.

Over mildværskaren fra mars ligger det et lag av kantkorn, som mange steder er i ferd med å bli smelteomvandlet. Det ble også observert et svakt lag i snøpakken ned mot bakken, i Målselv torsdag, men dette er lite sannsynlig at man klarer påvirke.

Mountain weather

Saturday 23. April 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from west. -9 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Sunday 24. April 2022

2-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1100 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

Generelt stabile forhold, men fortsatt mildt og nedbør opprettholder faren for våte skred i lavlandet. Over mildværsgrensa kan det dannes enkelte små fokksnøflak som er lette å påvirke.

Det kan fortsatt finnes svake lag dypere i snødekket, men disse har i det siste virket lite potente og vanskelig å påvirke.
