Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 30.01.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
There will be some new snow, but conditions are generally stable. Wind slabs might be possible to trigger in a few sheltered formations.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

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 29. January 2024

Mildvær og regn opp til det høyeste toppene har gitt mye snøsmelting og et gjennomvått snødekke i lavere områder. Mildværsgrensen har variert mye gjennom uken. På de aller høyeste toppene er snøen mindre påvirket av mildvær og snømengden har økt.

Eventuelt kantkorn betraktes som nøytralisert av mildværet.

Mountain weather

Monday 29. January 2024

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 30. January 2024

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from northwest. -5 °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

Snødekket vurderes som generelt stabilt etter først mildvær og nå noen dager med synkende temperaturer. Det er varslet noe nysnø og på utsatte steder der vinden tar mest kan det bygge seg opp nysnøflak som skiløpere kan løse ut. De fleste skredene vil trolig bli små.
Vær forsiktig i leområder med fersk innblåst nysnø.
