Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Tuesday 11.02.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 10. February 2020

Snødekket er mye preget av mildværet de siste dagene.

Under mildværgrensen medfører lavere temperaturer at snøoverflaten har frosset til.

I høyden består snødekket i stor grad av vindpakket fokksnø av varierende hardhet og skavler. Noen steder er den ferske snøen avblåst til gammelt skarelag eller helt ned til bakken.

Gammelt snødekke består i stor grad av ulike skarelag og smelteomvandlet snø.

Det er velutviklete kantkorn under skare- og islag i øvre deler av snødekket. Stedvis er kantkornlaget ganske tykt. Laget har vist begrenset evne til bruddforplantning.

Mountain weather

Monday 10. February 2020

4-8 mm precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -6 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 11. February 2020

7-11 mm precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the afternoon. -4 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. 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

Litt nysnø og vind vil gi enkelte ferske nysnø- og fokksnøflak som skredproblem i leområder. Eldre flak kan også påvirkes av skiløper.
