Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Thursday 23.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be careful in steep terrain if the snow is wet and loose. If so, it could be possible to trigger small wet loose avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Wednesday 22. May 2024

Sommeren er i ferd med å ta over i fjellet ettersom det har smeltet en del snø i det siste. I skyggesider finnes det lokalt skiføre fra 700 moh, men generelt må du over 1000 moh. for å finne sammenhengende skiføre. Snødekket er grovkornet og gjennomfuktet også i høyfjellet.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 22. May 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 3 °C to 16 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 23. May 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 4 °C to 17 °C at 1400 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 er generelt stabilt, men det kan være lett å løse ut små skred i svært bratte heng om snøen er veldig våt. Husk at selv små skred kan få deg ut av balanse og ha store konsekvenser om du er på feil sted, slik som i nærheten av terrengfeller.

Vær forsiktig i nærheten av skavler og unngå glidesprekker.
