Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Monday 18.12.2017

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain where you find fresh wind deposited snow. Weak layers beneath the new snow can be triggered by a skier.

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)

Sunday 17. December 2017

Snøoverflaten er variert i høgda. Rygg og topper er avblåst og det ligg gamle fokksnøflak i leområder, mest i Ø. Snøgrensa ligg på 0-300 moh. Det gamle snødekket blir vurdert stabilt. Fredag er det observert overflaterim i høgda.

Det er observert nedsnødd rim i øvre lag av snødekket. Fredag er rimlaget foreløpig ikkje vurdert som eit skredproblem.

Ikkje registrert skredaktivitet siste døgna

Søndag er det observasjon på fortsatt mykje laus snø tilgjengeleg for vindtransport i terrenget.

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

Litt nysnø og vind legg opp nye små ustabile nysnøflak i leområder. I enkelte botner og forsenkningar kan nysnøflaka ligge på rim og gli lettare ut ved skiløparbelasting. Faregraden blir vurdert til 2- moderat i dei områda som får mest snø.
