Avalanche warning for region Heiane Wednesday 21.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs, otherwise stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Tuesday 20. April 2021

Snøoverflata er påvirket av sol og høye temperaturer de siste dagene og varierer gjennom døgnet og med himmelretning. Det er avblåst til skare eller fjell og fokksnø i de høyeste fjellområdene, ellers våt smelteomdanna snø i de fleste høyder. Skiføre fra ca 500 moh.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 20. April 2021

2-6 mm precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -5 °C to 7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 21. April 2021

5-8 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the north during renoon. -6 °C to 0 °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

Lavere temperatur stabiliserer den våte overflata og våte skred blir et lite problem. Der nysnø og vind danner nysnøflak, vil disse kunne være let å påvirke for en skiløper, men det ventes ikke nok snø til at skredene blir mer enn str1, små.
