Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Wednesday 30.03.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. A new persistent weak layer may be present and the conditions then very challenging.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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)

Tuesday 29. March 2022

Nynsø og sterk vind fra nord preger snøoverflaten nå.
Det gamle snødekket har vært fuktet opp til ca 800-900 moh, og er gjennomfuktet opp til 5-600 moh.

Mandag meldes det om svært ustabile flak og i naboregionene er det observert begynnende kantkorn. Det er fare for det også i Nord-Troms.
Det er noe usikkerhet rundt status på gamle vedvarende svake lag etter mildværet, men trolig er de enten smeltet eller låst under tykk og hard snø.

Mandag meldes det om drønn, skytende sprekker og ustabile forhold.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 29. March 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Strong breeze from north. -13 °C to -8 °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

Det fortsetter med snøbyger og vind som opprettholder skredproblem med ferske ustabile fokksnøflak i sørvendte-leformasjoner. Det er fare for at flakene kan ha lagt seg over et nyutviklet vedvarende svakt lag med kantkorn. Det er fare for å fjernutløsning av store skred.
