Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Wednesday 10.06.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Solar radiation and higher day temperatures may result in natural avalanche activity. Keep distance to run out zones for avalanches and to cornices and areas with glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

Loose snow

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 9. June 2020

Snøoverflaten er fuktig/våt høyt til fjells. Mange steder ligger det fortsatt mye snø!

Generelt er snødekket i lavlandet smelteomvandlet og drenerer vannet godt. Men høyere til fjells er det lagdeling i snødekket og smeltevann kan hope seg opp innad i snøen.

Det finnes fortsatt store skavler og glidesprekker.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 9. June 2020

1-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -1 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 10. June 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -2 °C to 4 °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

Temperaturen øker, sola får tak og det ventes flere løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Store deler av regionen har likevel stabile forhold. Snøen drenerer godt både regn og smeltevann.

Enkelte steder er det fare for glideskred. Disse er svært vanskelig å forutsi. Åpne sprekker er tydelig faretegn.

Vær observant der det er skavler. Disse kan knekke og løse ut skred i fjellsiden under.
