Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 15.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in steep terrain. Keep safe distance to cornices and terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

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)

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.

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 ventes mye snøsmelting i dag med enda høyere temperaturer, men snødekke viser generelt god evne til drenering etter mange dager med mildvær. I bratt terreng vil en skiløper fortsatt kunne løse ut små våte løssnøskred.

Husk at mindre skred også kan bli meget farlige i kombinasjon med terrengfeller, spesielt når snøen er såpass tung som den er nå.

Glideskred og sørpeskred kan også forekomme. Unngå langvarig opphold under sigesprekker og i bekkeløp. Hold god avstand til skavler.
