Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Friday 29.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Showers will result in local differences in new snow amount and danger level within the region. Avoid areas with fresh storm slabs.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 28. April 2022

Bygevær de siste dagene har gitt noen cm nysnø i overflaten. Det gamle snødekket er hovedsakelig fuktig eller gjenfryst etter en mildværsperiode forrige uke.

Det er stor variasjon i snømengde innad i regionen, og i lavereliggende deler har det allerede smeltet en god del snø.

Onsdag morgen er det observert et middels stort naturlig utløst skred fra Øyfjellet.

Mountain weather

Thursday 28. April 2022

Friday 29. April 2022

8-12 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the evening. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -9 °C to -2 °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

Det kan være lett for en skiløper å løse ut skred i fersk, vindtransportert snø i fjellet. Bygevær gjør at det vil være lokale forskjeller i nedbørmengde og vindstyrke innad i regionen, og skredfaren er størst der det kommer mest nedbør og vind. I lavereliggende områder der nedbøren kommer som regn er det i utgangspunktet lite snø.
