Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 07.12.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The snow in the last few days will be touchy above the treeline, but avalanches will be small. At lower elevations where the snowfall started as rain, avalanches are less likely.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1) Remote triggering is possible.

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)

Tuesday 6. December 2022

I løpet av mandagen kom det 5-15 cm nysnø.

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen og snødekket er fortsatt tynt og med mye oppstikkende stein selv høyt til fjells.

Etter den lange kuldeperioden finnes det flere svake lag i snødekket. Det forventes kantkorn og rim under den ferske snøen, men også vel utviklet kantkorn under skare litt lengre ned i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 6. December 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -17 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 7. December 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -16 °C to -7 °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

I høyden har snøen fra de siste dagene lagt seg på et svært svakt snødekke. De steder det har bygget seg opp flak vil det være lett å løse ut skred. Skredstørrelsen begrenses av mengden nysnø og det ventes stort sett små skred. Jo mer snø som er kommet, desto lettere vil det være å løse ut skred.
Vær oppmerksom andre farer som kan ligge gjemt under snøoverflaten.
