Avalanche warning for region Nordenskiöld Land Friday 02.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The avalanche danger increases somewhat above 300-500 m asl during day because of increasing wind and precipitation.

Avalanche problems

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)

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 1. December 2022

I fjellet finner man snø i renner og forsenkninger. Snødekket er sterkt preget av regn med flere is- og smeltefrys-lag. Det er bare et mindre lag med nysnø i områdene opp til 400-500 moh.

Over 400 moh har det blitt observert kantkornlag både over og under skarelag, men lagene viser liten evne til bruddforplantning.

Det har kommet opptil et par cm snø siste døgn frem til torsdag morgen.
