Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Wednesday 24.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable conditions and the snow surface is hard. Be aware of the risk of slipping. Some new snow may cause small wind slabs that can be triggered by skiers.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Tuesday 23. April 2024

Den siste uka har det vært Iave nattetemperaturer som gir skare tidlig på dagen og våt snø der sola tar utover dagen. I lavlandet er det lite snø uten lagdeling. Over 500 moh er det fortsatt lagdeling med flere skare- eller islag. Mildvær tidligere i april har virket høyt til fjells, men på de alle høyeste toppene finnes det områder med vindpåvirket tørr snø.

Stedvis finnes det vedvarende svakt lag ved bakken i høyfjellet, men det ligger godt beskyttet under bærende skarelag.

Personutløst lite flakskred ved Laupskaret i Børgefjell fredag. Tynt flak men god bruddforplanting.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 23. April 2024

Wednesday 24. April 2024

2-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

Overskyet vær reduserer faren for ustabil snø i solvendt terreng. Snøoverflaten vil for det meste være hard og man må være oppmerksom på utglidningsfare.
Det er meldt noe nedbør og enkelte steder på vindutsatte plasser kan det dannes små nysnøflak som kan påvirkes av skiløpere.
