Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Monday 21.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. A persistent weak layer can be present underneath fresh wind deposited snow in isolated features.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few 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 20. March 2022

I lavlandet og der sola har varmet er det skare / smelteomvandla snø til ca. 800 moh. Over skoggrensa finner du nyere fokksnø med varierende hardhet, eller hard gammel snø. I skjermet terreng kan det finnes områder med løsere snø.

Observasjoner har vist at det stedvis finnes noe kantkorn under fokksnøflak, spesielt i nordvendte heng. Det har imidlertid ikke vært observert nok ugunstige egenskaper tilknyttet dette til at det regnes som et aktivt skredproblem.

Observatør meldte fredag om 25 cm nysnø.

Mountain weather

Sunday 20. March 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the south during the afternoon. -10 °C to 3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 21. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -14 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Fokksnøflak stabiliseres, men det kan fortsatt være mulig å løse ut skred i høyden.
Vær obs på at fokksnøflak kan ha lagt seg over overflatekantkorn eller rim i enkelte heng, som hindrer stabilisering.

I bratte solvendte heng vil det fortsatt være fare for naturlig utløste våte skred når sola står på, men noe kjøligere vær gjør at problemet avtar.

Glideskred er uforutsigbare, men kan forekomme. Unngå områder under glidesprekker.
