Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Sunday 06.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Saturday 5. December 2020

Det er generelt lite snø i skogen. Snødybden i høyden varierer mye, med lite snø på rygger og rabber, og mer snø i forsenkninger. Mildvær tidligere i uken har etterlatt lite snø i lavlandet, og smelt/frys skare videre opp. De siste dagene har det kommet ca 5-10cm nysnø i fjellet.

Mountain weather

Saturday 5. December 2020

Sunday 6. December 2020

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

Natt til søndag passerer et lavtrykk som lokalt vil danne ferske flak med ustabil fokksnø. Husk at selv små skred kan gi store konsekvenser ved terrengfeller. I noen formasjoner har det samlet seg opp mer snø, her kan skred bli middels store.
