Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Friday 25.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be cautious in steep terrain with wind slabs which could have bad bindings to the old snow. Generally expect a hard and stable snow pack.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Thursday 24. March 2022

Snøoverflaten er preget av regn opptil ca 800-900 moh. Over denne høyden antas det at nedbøren har kommet som sludd og snø slik at det kan ligge ansamlinger av fokksnø i flere himmelretninger.

Langvarig milde temperaturer i lavlandet har gjort at snømengden har minket betraktelig.

Hva som er status på gamle vedvarende svake lag etter mildværet er noe usikkert.

Det rapporteres om et naturlig utløst skred i fjellområdet nord for Sjøvegan på tirsdag morgen. Det er ganske bredt, men har ikke hatt stor lengde.

Mountain weather

Thursday 24. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -2 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 25. March 2022

3-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from east, changing to strong breeze from the northeast during the evening. -8 °C to -1 °C at 700 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

Fokksnøflak vil være utfordringen i regionen på fredag. Vindøkning mot kvelden gjør at snøen vil flyttes og danne ferske fokksnøflak i lesider.

Gamle fokksnøflak fra mildværet onsdag begynner nå å bli relativt stabile, men likevel, så kan man ikke utelukke at enkelte steder over 1000-1100 moh kan man fortsatt påvirke fokksnøflak ved stor tilleggsbelastning.
