Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Monday 22.03.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

New 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 21. March 2021

Over 800-1000 moh. er det varierande djupne på nysnøen pga vindtransport. Avblåste ryggar og flakdanning bak ryggar og kantar i terrenget. Under 800-1000 moh. er det generelt lite snø. I regionen er det relativt lite snø for årstida.

Vedvarande svake lag frå kuldeperioda i januar/februar kan framleis vere eit problem nokre stadar over 1300 moh. Tynne nysnøsjikt mellom hard fokksnø og smelteomdanna skare er observert ved Stryn.

Mountain weather

Sunday 21. March 2021

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 22. March 2021

6 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from west. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1400 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

Påfyll av snø og vind frå vest fortset å flytte snø inn i austvendte
leformasjonar. I bratte heng med fersk fokksnø kan det vere lett for ein skikøyrar å løyse ut skred. Gradvis temperaturstiging utover dagen kan virke stabiliserande på fokksnø.
Høgt til fjells finns det svake lag av kantkorn djupt i snødekket som truleg kan påvirkast i enkelte heng.
