Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Thursday 25.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain where the snow is wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can 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)

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)

Wednesday 24. April 2024

Sol med daglige variasjoner preger snødekket. Igjenfrosset overflate blir fuktig og våt i solvendte heng utover dagen. Det kom ca 5 cm nysnø forrige helg, og i høyfjellet er det fortsatt små tørre flak i skyggen.
Det eldre snødekket er ellers smelteomdanna og stabilt.

Snøgrensa varierer mellom 500 og 900 moh, og ligger lavest i skyggesider i indre strøk.

Det er observasjon på kantkorndanning i overflata før helga som var.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 24. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northeast. -17 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 25. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast. -8 °C to -1 °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

I bratte heng der snøen blir våt er det fortsatt mulig å løse ut små våte skred, men mindre sol gjør at utbredelsen er svært begrenset.

I de høyeste fjellområda mot Finse kan det fortsatt ligge fokksnøflak etter vind de siste dagene. En skiløper kan påvirke disse flakene i noen få heng.

Det er ellers venta stabile forhold

Glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet der snødekket glir på glatt underlag. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
