Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Wednesday 09.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

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 crust and overlying 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 8. December 2020

Det er generelt lite snø i lavlandet. Fra ca 400-500 moh og oppover finnes det partier med greie snøforhold selv om snødybden i høyden varierer mye med lite snø på rygger og rabber, og mer snø i søkk og forsenkninger.

I deler av regionen er det blitt observert kantkorn under skare fra tidligere mildværsperiode. Det anses foreløpig ikke som et eget skredproblem, og særlig med stigende temperaturer i helgen men vær oppmerksom på eventuelle faretegn som drønn og skytende sprekker.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 8. December 2020

Wednesday 9. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -1 °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

Fortsatt rolig, og mildere, vær gir lite endring i skredfaren. Vær ekstra varsom i heng hvor det har samlet seg mye snø over den siste perioden. Husk at selv små skred kan gi store konsekvenser ved terrengfeller.
