Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Monday 02.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Wind slabs in isolated areas are possible. The sun may trigger loose avalanches in southerly aspects.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

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 1. May 2022

Snøoverflaten er i hovedsak smelteomvandlet. Varmen gjør at nordsider også har våt snø høyt opp. Sola har tatt godt på dagen og smeltingen går fort. Rygger og rabber er nå bare. Snøgrensa kryper oppover og i lavlandet er det langt til snøen.

Kantkorn høyt i snødekket i nordsider kan ikke utelukkes men er svært vanskelig å påvirke og er derfor ikke regnet som et skredproblem lenger.

Mountain weather

Sunday 1. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from north, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -11 °C to 3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 2. May 2022

3-7 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during renoon. Fresh breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Noe nedbør kan danne små ferske flak som kan være lette å løse ut. Hvis solen kommer frem kan snøen i bratte heng i solsidene destabiliseres og bli lett å løse ut. Små løssnøskred kan løsne av seg selv.

Glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet der snødekket ligger på sva. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
