Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Thursday 12.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Sun and rise of temperature can produce small wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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.

Snødekket består i hovedsak av smelteomvandlet snø med nysnø over. ca 1200 moh. Lengst ned mot fjorden er det nå barmark. Snøgrensa er lavest i nordlige fjellsider og betydelig høyere i fjellsider mot sør.

Mandag gikk plussgradene opp til ca 1800-1900 moh. Onsdag har det kommet noe nysnø over ca 1200 moh

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

Over mildsværgrensen vil det kunne dannes myke nysnøflak i lesider. Her kan det være mulig for en skiløper å løse ut skred i den ferske nysnøen.
Under mildværgrensen kan varme og regn gi enkelte våte skred, men snødekket har vært gjennom oppvarming tidligere og forventes generelt å tåle dette bra. Vær oppmerksom på glidesprekker. Det er tegn på at glideskred kan løses ut. Svekking av snødekket kan også gi økende fare for skavlbrudd.
