Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Wednesday 29.03.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe travel conditions. Use caution on steep sunny slopes in the afternoon as the sun heats the snow surface. Wind slabs from Sunday are expected to be stable.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Loose 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 28. March 2023

Mye løs og fin snø opp til ca 400 moh. Over dette er snøoverflaten mer vindpåvirket, men i skjerma formasjoner er det ubundet snø.

Det finnes svake lag av kantkorn under gamle skarelag i snødekket, sist observert 24. mars. Laget er vanskelig å påvirke under harde skarelag.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 28. March 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -21 °C to -6 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 29. March 2023

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the northeast during the afternoon. -20 °C to -7 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly 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 ventes generelt stabile forhold, men dog med en liten økning utover dagen når sola varm i de bratte sidene. Vær nøye på hvor du er til hvilken tid.

Nysnøen fra søndagen ventes å ha stabilisert seg godt og det er farbart mange steder. Vær dog likevel forsiktige i områder der snøen har flaket seg.
