Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 12.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Not much snow and generally safe conditions. Smaller slabs of wind deposited snow can be triggered in isolated features at high altitudes.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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)

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)

Sunday 11. December 2022

De siste dagene har det kommet 10-20 cm snø i regionen og søndag formiddag snør det i regionen. Snøen har de fleste steder lagt seg på bar bakke. Snødekket er generelt tynt og usammenhengende.
Fra tidligere snøfall og vind lå det små dyner/harde flak noen få plasser i høyfjellet, særlig i vestvendt skjermet terreng bak rygger og i forsenkninger i terrenget.

Mountain weather

Sunday 11. December 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -16 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 12. December 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -15 °C to -9 °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

I le for vindutsatte plasser i høyfjellet kan det ha lagt seg opp enkelte små flak av vindtransportert snø. Disse vil de fleste steder ligge rett på bar bakke. Der det lå eldre snø fra tidligere kan de ha lagt seg over rim eller kantkorn i gammel snøoverflate og vil derfor være lett å løse ut.

Det er generlelt lite snø i regionen og i praksis ikke forhold for sammenhengende skiferdsel i terrenget.
