Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Tuesday 15.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Predominantly stable conditions, but when the sun comes out, the danger will rise to 2-moderate in areas where the snow becomes wet and soft. Weak layers of facets may have been covered by wind slabs in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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 15. March 2022

Det begynner å bli en stund siden forrige snøfall. I solsider kan det være bare flekker. I skogen kan det være råtten snø der det ikke fryser til. Over skogen er det hard fokksnø, men også områder med løsere snø/overflatekant.

Observasjon fra sist uke har vist overflatekant og kantkorn under utvikling under den siste fokksnøen. Fersk skredaktivitet viser at svake lag nær overflaten har god evne til bruddforplantning.

I Luster ble det observert et middels stort glideskred lørdag.

Mountain weather

Monday 14. March 2022

No precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -9 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 15. March 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -11 °C to -1 °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

Det vil være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng utover dagen når snøoverflaten blir våt og myk. Enkelte skred kan løsne naturlig hvis det blir mye solinnstråling.

Generelt skal det stor tilleggsbelastning til for å påvirke fokksnøen. Vær obs der fokksnøen kan la lagt seg over kantkorn, der kan det være lettere å løse ut skred.

Glideskred er uforutsigbare men kan forekomme. Unngå områder under glidesprekker.
