Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Thursday 02.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow in small bowls and gullies. Risk of small avalanches here. In other terrain features, there is less or no snow

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Wednesday 1. December 2021

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen. Stort sett bart bortsett frå i renner og skjerma formasjonar.

Mountain weather

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -21 °C to -16 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 2. December 2021

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest. -16 °C to -10 °C at 700 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

Det er kun samanhengande snø i renner og forsenkingar og eventuell skredutløysing vil kun vere mogeleg her. Me har ikkje observasjonar av snødekkestabilitet den siste veka så varsel er bygd på eit begrensa datagrunnlag. Det er truleg mest snø aust i regionen.
