On Wednesday we expect considerable avalanche danger for region Lofoten og Vesterålen. Avalanche problem is glide avalanches and wet snow (slab avalanches).
Lofoten og Vesterålen
Travelling in avalanche terrain requires advanced knowledge, experience in route finding and ability to identify the avalanche problem. Generally, it is recommended to avoid avalanche terrain. Avalanches may hit some avalanche-exposed roads and occasionally settlements. This is only a short summary. Go to the Varsom.no website, provided by NVE, to read the full avalanche warning.

On Thursday we expect moderate avalanche danger for region Lofoten og Vesterålen. Avalanche problem is wind drifted snow (slab avalanches) and persistent weak layer (slab avalanches).

Rain is expected, followed by heavy showers in some places. Heavy snowmelt is expected. Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed. Risk of slushflows is especially high in areas with less than 1 meter deep snow. The snow may in some places be fully water-saturated. Slushflows are triggered even in relatively gentle slopes, where water accumulates. Slushflows follow terrain depressions and may develop into debris flows. Debris flows may reach the valley bottom even if they are triggered high in the terrain.
deler av Troms og NordlandKeep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.http://www.varsom.no/en/flood-and-landslide-warning-service/18/03/2026, 09:46
