Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Wednesday 06.03.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. We expect small natural avalanches triggering on steep, sun exposed slopes. Be aware that also small avalanches can have high consequences around terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Tuesday 5. March 2024

Snøen er preget av mildvær og vind den siste tiden. Opp til 800 moh er det knallhard isskare. Høyere i terrenget er det mye hard fokksnø, men flekkvis er det myk fokksnø. Det er lite løs snø i terrenget. I solvendte heng mykes snøoverflaten på dagtid, før det fryser til igjen i løpet av natten.

Det finnes lag av kantkorn i snøen, men de er avrundet eller skjermet av hard fokksnø/skare og regnes ikke som et aktivt skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 5. March 2024

No precipitation. Moderate gale from southeast, changing to breeze from the south during the afternoon. -11 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 6. March 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -13 °C to -1 °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 sørvendt bratt terreng som får mye sol igjennom dagen vil snøoverflaten fuktes og mykes opp. Mindre våte løssnøskred vil løsne av seg selv. Det kan også være lett for en skiløper å løse ut skred. Vær oppmerksom at også små skred kan ha store konsekvenser rundt terrengfeller.
