Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 28.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs, otherwise stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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 27. March 2022

Mildvær og regn opp til ca 1200-1300moh fredag har gitt varmt og vått snødekke.
Det gamle snødekket veksler mellom våt soloppvarmet snø og hard skare etter nattefrost.
Det finnes ferske fokksnøflak i østlige lesider over mildværsgrensen.

Det er godt med snø i regionen, særlig i øst- og nordvendte leområder. Snøgrensa ligger på ca 400 moh.

Det finnes kantkorn i forbindelse med skarelag høyt i snødekket, senest observert 20.3. Laget ligger under skarelag og er svært vanskelig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Sunday 27. March 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1300 m a.s.l. Strong breeze from northwest. -2 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 28. March 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l Monday night. Gale from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 1 °C at 1100 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

Vind og litt ny nedbør vil i høyden gi noen små nye fokksnøflak. Lokalt kan dette gi fare for at skiløpere kan løse ut små skred i leheng med ferske flak.
Synkende temperatur og kraftig vind vil ellers gi gjenfrysing av snødekket og en hard snøoverflate mange steder.
