Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Friday 11.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
At high elevations, small fresh wind slabs will be easy to trigger in sheltered locations. Below the rain line avalanches will be easy to trigger in wet snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Thursday 10. March 2022

I høyden ligger det løs snø eller myke flak i skjermet terreng. Mer vindutsatte formasjoner har hard fokksnø eller er avblåst.
I sørvendte heng har sola tatt på snøoverflaten i bratt terreng. Lavere til fjells har mildvær og noe regn torsdag gjort snøoverflata fuktig eller våt.

Det er observert kantkorn over rundt 500moh både rundt mildværsskare fra 23. januar og fra slutten av februar. Grunnet mye vind fra forskjellige retninger er utbredelsen av disse lagene svært variert i terrenget. Det er ikke observert skred eller faretegn på disse lagene i den siste tiden.

Mountain weather

Thursday 10. March 2022

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from south, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 11. March 2022

4-7 mm precipitation. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the afternoon. -5 °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

Noe nedbør og sterk vind vil fortsette bygge fokksnøflak i skjermete formasjoner i høyden. Gunstige temperaturer gir rask stabilisering av gårdagens snø, og begrenser forventet skredstørrelse. Nedenfor mildværsgrensen vil det være lett å løse ut skred der snøen i overflaten er våt og ikke lengre henger sammen.
