Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Monday 03.02.2020

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 storm slabs.

Avalanche problems

New 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).

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 2. February 2020

Mye vind fra SØ de siste dagene har flyttet og omfordelt snøen. Over tregrensen består snødekket stort sett av hard vindpakket snø og noen steder er det avblåst ned til mildværsskare. I skogen veksler det mellom harde/myke fokksnøflak og områder med løssnø.

Det er observert lag med kantkorn over/under skarelag noen steder i regionen. Dette ligger nå stort sett dypt i snødekket under hard fokksnø og er dermed vanskelig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Sunday 2. February 2020

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to moderate gale from the northwest during the evening. -15 °C to -6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 3. February 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from northwest. -14 °C to -7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Påfyll av nysnø i kombinasjon med kraftig vind fører til ferske nysnøflak i leområder som kan være lett å løse ut.
Skredfaren ventes å være økende, men fortsatt ligge innenfor faregrad 2-moderat.
