Avalanche warning for region Salten Tuesday 17.05.2022
Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger
Published:
Challenging conditions due to different avalanche problems. Wet snow found in lower elevations. Conservative terrain choice is essential on freshly loaded storm slabs in the alpine. Glide snow avalanches are unpredictable. Avoid areas beneath glide-cracks.
Avalanche problems
New snow (slab avalanches)
You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).
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)
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.
