Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 10.03.2021

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.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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)

Tuesday 9. March 2021

I høyden består snøoverflaten av flakdannelser av varierende hardhet over gammel, smelteomvandlet snø. I lavere områder og i lune formasjoner finnes løs og ubunden snø.

Mildværet forrige helg smeltet bort mye snø og i lavere områder er det lite eller ingen snø.

Vedvarende svake lag fra kuldeperioden i januar er i stor grad nøytralisert opp til ca 1300 moh pga kraftig mildvær. Over denne høyden kan laget fortsatt utgjøre et problem noen steder.

Lørdag blåste det kraftig i høyden. Kraftig vind og snø har flere steder gitt store skavler mot øst.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 9. March 2021

2-4 mm precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the evening. -11 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 10. March 2021

2-4 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to gale from the southeast during renoon. -12 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Kraftig vind og litt snø vil utover dagen gi nye, ferske fokksnøflak. Nå mot V-NV-N. Der det finnes løs tilgjengelig snø for vinden vil flakdannelser kunne bli omfattende. En skiløper vil kunne løse ut skred i noen heng og skred kan bli middels store.
