Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 04.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Buried surface hoar is a problem in some locations.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Sunday 3. April 2022

Snøoverflata ber preg av nedbør og vind frå sundag med pålagring i søraustlege leheng. Lange periodar med høg temperatur og har gjeve eit smeltomdanna snødekke høgt til fjells.

Det er godt med snø i regionen, særskilt i aust- og nordvendte leområder. Snøgrensa ligg om lag på 400 moh.

Det finst kantkorn i snødekket, men eigenskapane er framleis ikkje ugunstige nok til å utgjere eit skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Sunday 3. April 2022

15 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during the evening. Fresh breeze from northwest. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 4. April 2022

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest 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

Det ligg ferske fokksnøflak i hovedsakleg søraustlege leheng. Låg temperatur gjer at stabiliseringa går sakte. Stadvis kan flak ligge på hardt underlag, eventuelt svake lag av kantkorn og soleis vere lette å løyse ut.
