Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Thursday 25.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
In the high mountains some fresh snow is expected. In a few steep slopes, dry sluffs can be easily released. Sporadically, small slabs will be formed and probably stick well to wet snow or bare ground. These slabs will be more difficult to release.

Cornices are often unstable at this time of year.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

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

Generelt stabile forhold, men i fjellet kan det kome noko nysnø som ein kan løyse ut skred i. Lågare nede der snøen er våt og mjuk kan det vere mogeleg å løyse ut enkelte små våte laussnøskred. Ver merksam på at der det heng igjen skavlar kan det vere fare for at skavlane kan brekke og falle ned. Der det ligg igjen snø på bratte svaberg kan det også vere fare for glideskred.
