Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 26.12.2023
Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger
Published:
Wind and fresh snow may give instable conditions in some slopes. Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger. Avoid convex terrain.
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.

Mildvær tidligere i desember påvirket snødekket høyt til fjells og tæret på snødekket i lavlandet og ytre deler av regionen. Etter mildværet har det kommet mye nedbør og betydelig påfyll av nysnø, spesielt mye i de aller høyeste delene av regionen.
Det er stor forskjell i snømengde i ulike hengretninger. Det er generelt lite snø mot nord og vest.
Det er ikke observert vedvarende svake lag.

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
Fortsatt litt nedbør og vind vil binde snøen til ferske flak i leheng. Disse er lett å løse ut for en skiløper. De ferskeste flakene finnes mot øst og sør. Fokksnøflak fra foregående dager vil gradvis stabilisere seg.
We provide daily avalanche forecast in the period between 1st of December until 31st of May. Please remember that the forecast is intended as an aid and not the absolute truth.
