Avalanche warning for region Salten Tuesday 27.02.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Monday 26. February 2018

Det er lite nysnø å snakke om i regionen. Noen områder er det avblåst til mildværskare, mens i mer skjermede områder kan det finnes mykere flak, på grensen til løssnø hvis du er god til å lete.

Det er observert kantkorn i snødekket både over og under skarelag. Kantkornlag er de fleste steder enten beskyttet av hard overliggende snø, eller så ligger de høyt i snødekket uten flak over.

Mountain weather

Monday 26. February 2018

Tuesday 27. February 2018

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -20 °C to -10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Stort sett stabile forhold. I beskyttede områder kan det finnes mykere små fokksnø-flak som kan løses ut.
