Avalanche warning for region Lyngen Wednesday 08.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be careful in sun exposed steep slopes and in areas with wind slabs at higher elevations.

Avalanche problems

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

Wind drifted 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)

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 7. May 2024

Siden helgen er det kommet ca 5 cm nynsø i høyden.
Mildvær sist uke har påvirket snødekket opp til ca 1200 moh. Siden fredag har temperaturen sunket og snødekke har begynt å fryse på igjen.

Det er stedvis lite snø under 200 moh.

Kantkornlag dypere i snødekket er trolig fortsatt tilstede nordvendt høyt til fjells, men er lite sannsynlig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 7. May 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -12 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 8. May 2024

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

I solsider kan det gå enkelte små løssnøskred i bratt terreng.

Hold god avstand til skavler.

På utsatte steder i høyden kan det enkelte steder legge seg fersk fokksnø som vil være lett å løse ut for en skiløper.
