Avalanche warning for region Tromsø Tuesday 29.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but wind slabs can be present in isolated features.

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)

Monday 28. December 2020

Det er generelt lite snø og tidligere mildvær preger snødekket opp til ca. 1000 moh. Det er for det meste skare under 700 moh, mens det i høyden er mer variert. Enkelte steder er det mulig å finne ubunden snø.

Under skarelaget i overflaten så begynner det å danne seg et velutviklet lag av kantkorn. Dette utgjør ikke noe skredproblem før det legger seg snø over.

Det er ikke skiføre under 300-400 moh. Torsdag kom det litt tørr løssnø over 200 moh.

Mountain weather

Advice
