Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Sunday 30.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
High temperatures may result in natural avalanche activity. Avlanches could also be triggered by skiers. The avlanche activity are increasing during the day.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

Loose snow

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)

Saturday 29. May 2021

Snødekket er stort sett smelteomvandla. Men det kan vere unntak Snøgrensa ligg rundt 800 moh i nordvendt terreng, høgare i sørvendt terreng. Grensa for lagdelt snø ligg på ca. 1300 moh.

Det kan framleis ligge vedvarende svake lag djupt det gamle snødekket i høgfjellet, men forventa utbreiing av dette er begrensa.

Mountain weather

Saturday 29. May 2021

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northwest. -1 °C to 16 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Sunday 30. May 2021

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northwest. 0 °C to 16 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Når snøoverflata vert våt og mjuk kan ein løyse ut våte laussnøskred.

Snødekket vil opplevast som stort sett stabilt, men i nordvendte områder i høgfjellet kan det framleis ligge vedvarande svake lag i snødekket. Høge temperaturar gjer at det kan samle seg vatn i desse laga og skred kan løysne. Dette er mest truleg kun aktuellt i svært få områder.

Ver merksam på mogelegheit for glideskred og skavlbrot.
