Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 02.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and 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

Glide avalanches

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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

Noe nedbør, men generelt som regn utenom på de høyeste toppene i regionen, vil ikke endre situasjonen betraktelig. Snødekket er generelt stabilt, men noen få steder kan det fremdeles være lett å løse ut små skred, særlig der solen varmer snødekket eller det blir veldig vått av regn.

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