Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Monday 03.02.2020
Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger
Published:
Wind and fresh snow may give instable conditions in many slopes. Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here. Avoid especially convex terrain.
Avalanche problems
New snow (slab avalanches)
You can easily trigger avalanches on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).
Advice
Snow cover (in Norwegian)
