Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Monday 25.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid areas with recent wind slabs. The wind is picking up and turns. Snow on the ground will be eroded and deposited in wind sheltered slopes. At high altitudes, a persistent layer of facets can be buried deep in the snowpack in isolated areas.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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 24. April 2022

Det har kommet litt nysnø i høyder over 500-600moh i helgen. Under dette er snødekket vått eller gjenfrosset.

Over mildværskaren fra mars ligger det et lag av kantkorn, som mange steder er i ferd med å bli smelteomvandlet. Det ble også observert et svakt lag i snøpakken ned mot bakken, i Målselv torsdag forrige uke, men dette er lite sannsynlig at man klarer påvirke.

Mountain weather

Sunday 24. April 2022

2-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 25. April 2022

4-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -9 °C to -2 °C at 1100 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

Generelt stabile forhold, med synkende temperaturer. Utover ettermiddagen vil snøbyger i kombinasjon med vind kunne danne ferske fokksnøflak i leheng, og skredfaren øker.

Det kan fortsatt finnes svake lag dypere i snødekket, men disse har i det siste virket lite potente og vanskelig å påvirke.
