Avalanche warning for region Lofoten og Vesterålen Monday 05.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Stable conditions. Currently we expect very few places where avalanches could occur.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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.

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

På dei høgaste toppane i indre strøk kan det kome noko snø og vind. Mange stader vil snøen som kom søndag smelte vekk i regnveret. Det ligg ikkje nok snø frå før til at ein ventar problem med våte laussnøskred. Det er lite snø i regionen og skredfaren er også liten.
