Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 28.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

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)

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 27. December 2020

Det er generelt lite eller ingen snø i lavlandet. Over 600 moh er mesteparten av snøen samlet i renner og forsenkninger. Rabber og rygger er stort sett avblåst. Det er mye oppstikkende stein. Snødekket er stort sett stabilt og består av smelteformer og ulike skarelag. Mest snø i østlige strøk.

Mountain weather

Sunday 27. December 2020

No precipitation. Cloudy.

Monday 28. December 2020

No precipitation. 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

Det er fortsatt vindfullt men ingen snø å flytte på, så skredfaren forblir uendret.

Det er større fare for utglidning på glatt og isete underlag, enn skred akkurat nå. Vær obs på oppstikkende stein!
