Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Monday 07.02.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avalanches will be easy to trigger when the weather hits. Avoid steep terrain with fresh wind slabs in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 6. February 2022

Påfyll av snø i helgen har gitt opp mot 50cm løs snø i regionen. Nysnø til havnivå, kram på 300moh og gradvis tørrere oppover. Etter en ellers snøfattig vinter er det nå mye snø i terrenget i regionen. Over skogen er det avblåst til skare eller barmark der vinden tar og større mengder fokksnø i leformasjoner. Varierende grad av fokksnø fra myk til hard. Mest snø i østlig sektor etter mye vind fra sørvest og vest.

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

Vinden snur og kommer fra nordvest. I det bygene treffer kan det være lett å løse ut skred i fokksnøen. Enkelte steder der det er kommet mest snø kan skred bli store. Fokksnøflak fra dagene tidligere i uka ventes å være stabile.

På kvelden snur vinden igjen og øker på fra sørvest. Det legger seg fokksnø i nye leområder.
