Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Thursday 27.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It is generally stable snow. Wet avalanches, both loose snow and large slabs, can occur where the snow is very wet.

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

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 26. May 2021

Snøen er dei fleste stadar smelteomdanna, og er frossen og hard i skuggesider over mildversgrensa, og våt og mjuk der det er sol og i lavtliggande områder.

Snøen er fortsatt lagdelt og det finnast både harde skarelag der vatn kan hope seg opp, og gamle kantkornlag djupt i snødekke. Det har gått store til svært store skred på kantkornlag i starten av forrige uke.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 26. May 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -3 °C to 3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l.

Thursday 27. May 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to moderate gale from the west during the afternoon. -3 °C to 2 °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 er det stabil snø. Der snøen er våt kan skikøyrarar løyse ut våte laussnøskred, men dei blir truleg ikkje så store. Om vatn trenger ned til dei gamle vedvarande svake laga kan det gå store flakskred, men dette er mindre sannsynleg. Vær varsam der snøen er svært våt, særleg i bratte heng med terrengfeller.
