Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Thursday 11.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with fresh wind deposited snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Wednesday 10. May 2023

Sist uke kom det opptil 20 cm nysnø, som i ettertid har blitt vindpåvirket enkelte steder.
Dette la seg på ei snøoverflate som veksla mellom skare, hard fokksnø og tynn solskare.

Det vedvarende svake lag i forbindelse med et skarelag høyt i snødekket.

Utenfor varslingsregionen, på Knuvlen, er det observert drønn i snøen.

Det er ikke observert noen skredaktivitet de siste dagene.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 10. May 2023

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

Vinddreining og fallende temperatur. Dannelse av ferske fokksnøflak. Mulighet for solgløtt sent på dagen.

Små våte løssnøskred kan ikke utelukkes

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag i snødekket, men inntrykket er at det ikke utgjør noe problem nå.
