Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Sunday 12.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions but be cautious in steep slopes with wet snow and avoid areas with glide cracks.

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.

Nedbør siden torsdag ettermiddag har kommet som snø i høyden. Nysnøen har lagt seg oppå smelteomvandlet snødekke etter mildvær, sol og regn forrige uke.

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

Det er generelt stabile forhold i regionen nå. Regnværet vil imidlertid øke risikoen for utløsning av våte skred i bratte heng. Høyt til fjells kan det også forekomme enkelte naturlig utløste skred, men disse forventes å være små.

Glideskred kan fortsatt forekomme. Unngå områder med glidesprekker.
