Avalanche warning for region Heiane Friday 27.12.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Wind slabs in isolated areas are possible, but generally stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

New 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).

Buried weak layer of new 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.

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

Det ventes rolig vær og stabilisering av nysnøen. Vær likevel forsiktig i leheng som har samlet snø der vinden har tatt. Det gamle snødekket anses som stabilt etter tidligere mildvær.
