Avalanche warning for region Lofoten og Vesterålen Tuesday 28.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Limited forecasts due to strike.
Generally stable conditions. Avoid areas below glide cracks and where the snowpack is resting on slick rock slabs. Also show caution in steep terrain where the snow is wet and loose.

Avalanche problems

Glide 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)

Wet snow/melting near the ground

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)

Monday 27. May 2024

Snødekket er smelteomvandlet og gjennomfuktet helt til topps. Det har smeltet mye snø den siste tiden, og snøgrensen kryper raskt oppover. Det er stedvis råtten snø rundt framstikkende steiner og svake snøbroer over elver.

Mountain weather

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

Generelt stabile forhold. Temperaturen holder seg varm og snøen tiner fort. Der det er snø og bratt nok, vil det alltid være en viss risiko for skred. Vi er fortsatt i en periode hvor skavlbrudd og glideskred kan forekomme. Unngå områder under synlige glidesprekker og hvor snøen ligger på bratte svaberg.

Vær også obs i bratte heng der det kan bli mulig å løse ut små, våte løssnøskred.
