Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 07.02.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but you should still be careful in areas with wind deposited snow. A persistent weak layer is present within the snowpack, but also on the surface. The weak layers are not a concern at the moment.

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)

Tuesday 6. February 2018

Snødekket i fjellet er preget av og skare etter mildværet først i januar og hardpakket fokksnø etter kraftig vind fra SØ-S de siste ukene.
Forrige uke var det klarvær som dannet overflaterim i stort sett alle høyder og himmelretninger.

Et vedvarende svakt lag av kantkorn finnes i snødekket, men dette er generelt meget vanskelig å løse ut.


Det er ikke meldt om skredaktivitet de siste dagene.

Mandag og tirsdag formiddag var det mildere vær, men fortsatt minusgrader i det meste av regionen.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 6. February 2018

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the southeast during the evening. -15 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 7. February 2018

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -21 °C to -9 °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

Det er jevnt over stabile forhold i regionen. Enkelte steder kan det finnes ustabile fokksnøflak, men det skal generelt mye til for å løse ut skred i dette. Lag av kantkorn og overflaterim er ikke et skredproblem før det evt kommer mer snø oppå.

Skredfaren vurderes til faregrad 1-liten.
