Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Wednesday 07.12.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The fresh snow from the last few days may be easy to trigger at high elevation. Where the new snow falls directly on bare ground avalanches are not expected.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2). Remote triggering is possible.

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 6. December 2022

Mandag og tirsdag har det kommet en del nysnø i regionen. Bygevær har trolig gitt store lokal forskjeller.

Fra tidligere var det svært lite snø.

Over 800-1000 moh har det vært litt snø i forsenkninger.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 6. December 2022

16-20 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -9 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 7. December 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -13 °C to -3 °C at 700 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 ferske fokksnøen vil gradvis stabiliere seg. I noen få områder kan det ha samlet seg nok snø til å gå skred.

I høyfjellet kan fokksnøflakene ligge på gamle svak lag av kantkorn eller rim. Men dette er antakelser.

Endring i vindretning kan gi nye områder med fersk fokksnø.

Vær oppmerksom på andre gjemte farer under snøoverflaten som steiner.
