Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 27.03.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs, otherwise stable conditions. Small avalanches may occur on steep slopes exposed to the sun.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

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)

Sunday 26. March 2023

Mye løs og fin snø opp til ca 400 moh. Over dette er snøoverflaten mer vindpåvirket, men i skjerma formasjoner er det ubundet snø.

Det finnes svake lag av kantkorn under gamle skarelag i snødekket, sist observert 24. mars. Laget er vanskelig å påvirke under harde skarelag.

Mountain weather

Sunday 26. March 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -20 °C to -6 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 27. March 2023

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northeast. -20 °C to -6 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Der det la seg fokksnøflak i helgen kan det fortsatt være mulig å løse ut skred. Fokksnøen stabiliseres gradvis, men der flakene er tynne eller myke kan de være mulig å påvirke.

Sola kan gjøre at små skred løsner av seg selv i bratt terreng.
