Avalanche warning for region Tromsø Wednesday 05.12.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

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)

Tuesday 4. December 2018

Det er rundt en uke siden siste store snøfall i Tromsø, i etterkant blåste det nordvest og senere sør og sørvestlig vind som dannet myke fokksnøflak i leområder. Det er avblåst og vindskare på rygger. I helga har det vært mildvær med 5 plussgrader ved havnivå, men tirsdag er det observert tørr og myk snøoverflate hele veien opp til Ullstind ved Snarbyeidet.

Det er ingen utpregede svake lag i snødekket.

Det er ikke observert skredaktivitet de siste dagene.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 4. December 2018

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. Vær oppmerksom på enkelte heng i høyden kan ha små fokksnøflak etter vind de siste dagene. Litt nysnø og lite vind onsdag ventes ikke å føre til vesentlige endringer i skredfaren.
