Avalanche warning for region Salten Tuesday 03.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Snow showers and moderate wind are creating unstable wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

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 2. May 2022

Mildværet søndag har trolig fuktet snødekket opp til omtrent 700 - 800 moh. Mandag er det snøbyger til havnivå.

Sist uke var preget av bygevær med nedbør som snø kombinert med vind.

Det har vært store forskjeller i nysnømengde og vindstyrke innad i regionen.

I nordvendte sider i indre deler av regionen over 1000 moh. kan det fortsatt være vedvarende svake lag i det gamle snødekket, men det vurderes ikke til å være et aktivt skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Monday 2. May 2022

16 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l Monday night. Breeze from northwest, changing to gale from the northwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 3. May 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -10 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Skredfaren er knyttet til områder med fersk fokksnø.

I og over skoggrensen kan det være lett for en enkelt skiløper å løse ut skred.

Nysnøen er kommet i byger, så det kan være store lokale forskjeller.
