Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Thursday 31.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable avalanche conditions. Use caution in areas with wind deposited snow and cornices and where the sun makes the snow surface wet and soft.

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)

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)

Wednesday 30. March 2022

Snødekket er tidligere påvirket av varme og regn opp til ca. 1500 moh. Over dette finnes det stedvis noe tørrsnø. Mest av denne ferske snøen finnes i østvendte heng. Snøfordelingen i terrenget er jevn, men med noe mer snø i østvendt terreng.

Per i dag er det trolig ingen svake lag i snøpakka, men foholdene er gunstige for rask dannelse av dette.

Tirsdag morgen meldes det om mye vann i snøen og kraftig solinnstråling i nærheten av Solvorn.

Wednesday 30. March 2022

Thursday 31. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -18 °C to -6 °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

Til tross for forholdsvis lave temperaturer, kan sola gjøre at våte skred løsner i solvendte heng utover dagen. Skredene ventes ikke å bli store.
Gammel fokksnø ventes nå å være vanskelig å løse ut skred i.
