Avalanche warning for region Nord-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. Be also aware of some isolated small wind slabs in the alpine. At high altitudes, a persistent layer of facets are 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)

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

Fredag kom det ca 5-10 cm nysnø over ca 600-700 moh. Lørdag har solen fuktet snødekket et godt stykke til fjells. Under ca. 600 moh. er snødekket vått eller igjenfrosset. En del bare rabber, men det meldes om fortsatt mye snø i fjellet.

Dypere i snødekket finnes det vedvarende svake lag i forbindelse med mildværsskare fra slutten av mars, men de fleste steder virker det å være vanskelig å påvirke for øyeblikket.

Mountain weather

Saturday 23. April 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from west. -9 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 24. April 2022

2-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -5 °C to 0 °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 noe nedbør gjør det fortsatt lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred under mildværsgrensa i enkelte heng. I høyden har det kommet litt snø som kan ha dannet noen få små fokksnøflak, men disse stabiliserer seg raskt i de relativt milde temperaturene.

Kantkornlag finnes fortsatt enkelte plasser, men virker å være avrundet og vanskelig å påvirke de fleste steder.
