Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 29.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs. Glow of sun can cause a risk of loose snow avalanches. Otherwise stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

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)

Monday 28. March 2022

Perioder med mildvær og regn opp til ca. 1200-1300 moh har gitt smelteomvandlet snøoverflate.
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. mars. Laget ligger under skarelag og er svært vanskelig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

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.

Tuesday 29. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the north during renoon. -9 °C to -4 °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

I de høyestliggende områdene vil det finnes noen mindre fokksnøflak fra de siste dagene som fortsatt kan påvirkes og gi små skred.
Solinnstråling i bratte heng kan også gi noen mindre løssnøskred. Spesielt i bratte sider som har bart fjell rundt seg.

Ellers hardt og stabilt snødekke mange steder.
