Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Thursday 24.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs. Below the zero degree line the wet snow is now refreezing and stabilizing.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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)

Wednesday 23. March 2022

Snøoverflaten er smelteomvandlet opp til ca. 1000 moh etter kraftig regnvær i helga og på onsdag.
Høyere oppe er snøoverflaten enten avblåst eller vindpakket.

Det finnes flere svake lag med kantkorn inn i det gamle smelteomvandlet snødekke. Ved bakken finnes det begerkrystaller. Disse lag har i det siste vært vanskelig å påvirke. Det er usikkerhet rundt status av disse lagene etter regnvær den siste uka.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 23. March 2022

15 mm precipitation, up to 32 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during renoon. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the north during the evening. -7 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 24. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -12 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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 synker og vind og nedbør roer seg. Der snødekket har vært vått vil det fryse på og være generelt stabile forhold.
I høyden, der onsdagens nedbør kom som snø, kan det ha lagt seg store fokksnøflak i leområder som fremdeles kan være lett å løse ut.
