An avalanche has been reported in Troms, Norway, and emergency services are responding with a helicopter dispatched to the scene. Operation leader Robin Åsheim Lindberg stated that it remains uncertain whether anyone has been caught in the avalanche. The situation is being assessed as rescue teams prepare to investigate the area and follow any ski tracks leading towards the avalanche site.

Lindberg also mentioned that while it is possible to access the area with randonee ski gear, the terrain is very steep and not commonly frequented by many skiers. This adds a layer of caution to the ongoing operation as rescuers navigate the challenging landscape. Authorities received the notification about the avalanche from a skier on another peak who witnessed the avalanche occur, highlighting the unpredictable nature of mountain conditions in this region.

As the situation develops, the presence of the helicopter will allow teams to evaluate the situation more closely and determine if any search and rescue operations will be necessary. The incident underscores the risks associated with skiing in avalanche-prone areas and the importance of monitoring snow conditions for safe recreational activities in Norway's mountainous regions.
