Sør-Troms

It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain where the snow is very wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Snødekket er stort sett smelteomvandlet, men over 1000 moh vil man fortsatt finne kald, lagdelt snø. Snøgrensen varierer i forhold til himmelretning og bratthet, men lite sammenhengende snø under 500 moh.

Nok en dag med skyet vær holder skredfaren nede. Litt regn vil ikke påvirke skredfaren. Der snødekket ikke har blitt gjenfryst over natten vil det fortsatt være mulig å løse ut små våte skred.

Unngå bratte heng med tung og klissete snø. Vær oppmerksom på skavler og glidesprekker.

The avalanche danger varies significantly across the region and depends largely on local overnight temperatures. Where there has been no overnight freeze due to cloud cover, and mild temperatures extend high into the mountains, the avalanche danger will already be elevated in the morning. The combination of wet snow and strong sunshine further weakens the snowpack.

Wet loose avalanches are the most widespread avalanche problem, particularly in very steep, sun‑exposed terrain and below areas with exposed rock or cliffs. Most avalanches will be small, but medium‑sized avalanches may also occur. Remember that even small wet loose avalanches can be dangerous in steep and exposed terrain, as they consist of heavy, wet snow.

Be aware that wet slab avalanches and/or glide avalanches may also occur where meltwater accumulates on old crust layers deeper in the snowpack or in areas with smooth bedrock.
