Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Monday 09.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Temperature rise give increased danger of wet avalanches. Risk of wind-deposited snow above 1500 masl.

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

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches 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 8. May 2022

I solvendt terreng består snødekket i hovedsak av smelteomvandlet snø. I nordvendte sider høyt til fjells kan det finnes tørrsnø, noen steder med overflatekantkorn. Lengst ned mot fjorden er det nå barmark. Snøgrensa er lavest i nordlige fjellsider og betydelig høyere i fjellsider mot sør. Oppe i fjellet er det fortsatt mye snø.

Overflatekant er tidligere observert i skyggesider høyt til fjells, men har nå trolig svært liten utbredelse.

Lørdag gikk mildvær til ca 1100-1200 moh. Natt til søndag var det nattefrost i fjellet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 8. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 9. May 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -4 °C to 5 °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

Smeltefrysesykluser gjennom døgnet vil stabilisere snødekket. På dagtid vil oppvarming kunne gi våte løssnøskred i bratte fjellsider. Det kan være mulig å finne lommer med fokksnø høyt til fjells.
Vær oppmerksom på glidesprekker og skavlbrudd.
