Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Monday 09.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Rising temperature can cause loose snow avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Loose 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 8. May 2022

Snødekket er våt etter høye temperaturer og regn fra de siste par dagene. I sør, øst og vest er det gamle snødekket smelteomvandlet, mens i bratte nordvendte heng i høyden kan det fortsatt ligge vintersnø.
Snøgrensa ligger på 600 moh, høyere i bratte sørvendte heng.

Mountain weather

Sunday 8. May 2022

No precipitation. Partly cloudy.

Monday 9. May 2022

No precipitation. 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

Faren for våte snøskred øker med stigende temperatur. Faren er størst om ettermiddagen, men skredene ventes å være stort sett små.

Fokksnøflak fra helgen ventes å ha stabilisert seg nå. Vær fortsatt litt obs i svært bratte skyggesider i høyden.

Det kan fortsatt være fare for enkelte glideskred, glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
