Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 21.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The avalanche danger is decreasing. The snow pack is wet and loose. Skiers can trigger wet avalanches.

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)

Hva som er status på gamle vedvarende svake lag etter mildværet er noe usikkert.

Lørdag er det registret mange våte skred, både flakskred og løssnøskred.

Mountain weather

Sunday 20. March 2022

2-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l during renoon. Moderate gale from southwest. 0 °C to 3 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 21. March 2022

3-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l Monday night. Strong breeze from southwest. -4 °C to 2 °C at 700 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

Skredfaren ventes å avta ytterligere i dag. Flere dager med mildvær og kraftig regn på lørdag har gjort øverste deler av snødekke smelteomvandlet og homogent. Det kan dog fortsatt være mulig å løse ut mindre løssnøskred der snøoverflaten er våt og løs.
