Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Thursday 24.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It's generally a stable snowpack. Be careful in areas with terraintraps.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Wednesday 23. December 2020

Snømengdene i regionen varierer, lite snø i ytre strôk og i låglandet. Meir snø i indre strôk, som i Tamokdalen. Her er det godt innfylt i botnar og forsenkningar i høgda. Snøen i høgda er tørrare og mjukare etter kaldare og tørrare vêr dei siste dagane.

Tamokdalen har observasjon på kantkornlag i snødekke, men ikkje meldt som skredproblem.

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 er generelt stabilt snødekke. I høgda er snøen tørrare og truleg mjukare etter tørrare og kaldare vêr siste dagane. Litt nedbør i indre strôk legg opp små fersk fokksnøflak i høgda.
