Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Tuesday 02.04.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh wind-deposited snow. Also be careful in steep and sunexposed terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

New snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Monday 1. April 2024

Måndag er det vind og snøbyger nord i regionen. Vinden flyttar snø.

Torsdag - fredag kom det 10 cm nysnø på kysten som gav eit godt skiføre ved kysten og på øyane. Det har også danna seg rim og små kantkorn i snøoverflata før det siste snøfallet.

Gjennom vinteren har det blitt danna vedvarande svake lag djupare i snødekket. Desse er generelt vanskelege å påverke no, men om dei blir det kan det gå store skred.

Mountain weather

Monday 1. April 2024

2 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from north, changing to breeze from the northeast during the evening. -19 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 2. April 2024

0 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from northeast, changing to breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -25 °C to -12 °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

Det har kome litt nysnø dei siste dagane. Måndag vert det også meldt om snøfokk som dannar ferske flak. Det har vore mest vind og snø ved kysten og på øyane og skredfaren vil vere høgast her.

Noko av snøen frå dei siste dagane kan ligge over rim og kantkorn, som gjer at det tek tid før snøen stabiliserar seg. Om det blir sol kan det gå små laussnøskred i bratte solvendte fjellsider.
