Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 10.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Not much snow and generally safe conditions. Smaller slabs of wind deposited snow can be triggered in isolated features at high altitudes.

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)

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 9. December 2022

Det er kommet litt nysnø i store deler av regionen siste dager, mest i Ryfylkeheiane. Stort sett har dette lagt seg på bar bakke. Ikke sammenhengende snødekke eller særlig til skiføre enda.
Fra tidligere snøfall og vind lå det små dyner/harde flak noen få plasser i høyfjellet, særlig i vestvendt skjermet terreng bak rygger og i forsenkninger i terrenget.

Det har kommet 3-8 cm nysnø siste dager til havnivå i regionen.

Mountain weather

Friday 9. December 2022

0-4 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from east. -17 °C to -6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 10. December 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east, changing to breeze from the east during renoon. -17 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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 le for vindutsatte plasser i høyfjellet kan det ha lagt seg opp enkelte små flak av vindtransportert snø. Disse vil de fleste steder ligge rett på bar bakke. Der det lå eldre snø fra tidligere kan de ha lagt seg over rim eller kantkorn i gammel snøoverflate og vil derfor være lett å løse ut.

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen og ikke forhold for skiferdsel.
