Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Wednesday 27.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The fresh wind slabs are easily triggered. The avalanche danger will be highest in the areas with most wind deposited snow.

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 26. April 2022

Med synkende temperatur har det kommet 2-5 cm med nysnø gradvis lavere i terrenget de siste dagene. Det gamle snødekket er fortsatt lagdelt, men er nå fuktig eller gjenfryst etter en mildværsperiode forrige uke.

Det begynner å bli lite snø i lavlandet, særlig ute ved kysten.

Høyt til fjells kan det fremdeles være vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn i snødekket, men disse vurderes ikke til å utgjøre et skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 26. April 2022

2-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -10 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 27. April 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l during the evening. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the evening. -10 °C to -4 °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 vil være lett for en skiløper å løse ut skred i den ferske vindtransporterte snøen. Bygevær gjør at det vil være lokale forskjeller i skredfaren innad i regionen, og skredfaren vil derfor være størst der det kommer mest nysnø og vind. Det er viktig å omstille seg fra ferdsel på våt vårsnø, tilbake til lagdelt vintersnø.

Hvis det blir klarvær og solinnstråling mellom bygene så kan skred løsne naturlig.
