These are fairly normal conditions in the western parts of the mountain chain at the national border and ritsem while the eastern parts of the mountains have unusually little snow right now.
There have been several periods of bliders that have caused the snow cover to be packed together or completely melted away in their directions. This weekend a new period of plus degrees is expected.
Looks like during the spring winter
We are mid-February but with the conditions that exist now is as if it were April-May.
– It is unusual for Skare in February, at least in our areas. Here you can cycle around the snow, says Erik Sarri in Nikkaluokta.
In Vistasdalen there is almost no snow at all and the marshes have thawed after it has rained several times this winter. On the lakes in the area there is blank ice, which makes scooter driving very difficult.
Mattias Nilsson in the mountain safety committee in Kiruna urges people who are going out into the mountains to pay attention, not to go out alone and to make a roadmap that you share with someone.
