Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Friday 29.03.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Small wind slabs, which can be deposited on top of surface hoar, are possible to trigger. Small natural released avalanches are possible in steep sun-facing slopes. The snow surface can be hard so consider the consequences of slipping if you are seeking steep terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Loose 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)

Thursday 28. March 2024

Søndag og mandag kom det opptil 15 cm nysnø utan vind, mest vest i regionen. Dette la seg oppå ei hard overflate av skare og fokksnø. I ettertid har snøen blitt påverke av vind og sol. Snøoverflata vekslar difor mellom ubunden snø, fokksnø av ulik hardheit og skare. I bratte solvendte sider fjellsider tiner snøoverflata på dagtid.

Det har også vore kalde klare netter og dette har gitt rim og små kantkorn høgt i snødekke.

Gjennom vinteren har det danna seg fleire vedvarande svake lag i snødekket, men desse er ikkje problematiske no.

Det har gått nokre naturleg utløyste laussnøskred i solsider dei siste dagane.

Mountain weather

Friday 29. March 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -17 °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

Generelt er det stabile tilhøve.

Enkelte stadar er det mogleg å løyse ut skred i fokksnø, særleg om denne har lagt seg over rim. Størrelsen på eventuelle skred vil truleg vere små. Om det blir sol kan det gå små laussnøskred i bratte solvendte fjellsider.

Om du ferdast i bratt terreng med hardt underlag, tenk på konsekvensane om du skulle falle og skli på skara.
