Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Wednesday 04.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Solar radiation may result in natural avalanche activity. Avlanches could also be triggered by skiers. The avlanche activity are increasing during the day. Keep distance to areas with glide-cracks.

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

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)

Tuesday 3. 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

Tuesday 3. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -10 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 4. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from south. -6 °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

Hvis sola titter fram kan små skred kan løsne av seg selv i bratte solvendte heng.

Det er fare for enkelte glideskred som kan løsne av seg selv. Glideskredene kan bli store og de kan løsne hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
