Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Thursday 24.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
In general favorable conditions, but small, wet avalanches in the fresh snow may be easy to trigger in steep terrain. Remember that small avalanches can be dangerous in terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wet 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)

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 23. May 2018

Snøgrensen kryper oppover og det er mye bart også høyt i fjellet. I ytre strøk er det lite snø. I indre strøk og i nordsider ligger det fremdeles flere steder nok snø til skikjøring.

Snødekket har vært gjennomfuktet høyt til topps, men enkelte steder var det et snev av nattefrost natt til onsdag.

Litt nedbør natt til onsdag kan ha gitt et lite dryss med nysnø på de aller høyeste toppene.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 23. May 2018

2-5 mm precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the evening. -3 °C to 3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 24. May 2018

0-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -1 °C to 6 °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

I den nyeste snøen vil det være lett for skiløpere å løse ut små, våte skred, men omfanget er trolig begrenset.

Men generelt stabile forhold i et forutsigbart snødekke som i hovedsakelig har gjennomgått førefall.

Hardheten og konsistensen på snøoverflaten vil avhenge av og variere med temperatursvingningene gjennom dagen.
