Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 18.12.2017

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Small wind slabs in isolated areas in the inner parts of the region are possible, but not likely.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Sunday 17. December 2017

Det er nå i helga kommet noe nysnø i byger med moderat vind som har gitt noen myke nysnøflak. Der bygene har truffet ligger det da også noe løs snø tilgjengelig for vindtransport. Nysnøen ligger da enten på hard fokksnø eller skare.

Det er ikke observert skredaktivitet de siste dagene.

Mountain weather

Sunday 17. December 2017

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from west. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 18. December 2017

1-5 mm precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -10 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Lite vind og lite nedbør gir ingen vesentlig endring i skredfaren. Nysnøflakene fra helga vil gradvis stabilisere seg.

Svake lag nede i snødekket er beskyttet av den harde fokksnøen, noe som fører til at det er lite sannsynlig med brudd i disse nå.

Skredfaren forventes å være 1-liten.
