Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Thursday 10.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution in steep terrain with wind slabs. Naturally released wet avalanches may occur due to rising temperatures and rain.

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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

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 9. March 2022

I høyden er det er myke eller harde flak, eller skare, alt etter hvordan vind og sol har tatt. Det er lite snø på kuler og topper, spesielt mot vest. I lune formasjoner kan det ligge litt myk snø som danner godt skiføre. I lavlandet er det skare fra mildvær. I høyden stedvis solskare i bratte solvendte heng, som mykner opp om sola tar på dagtid.

Klarvær kan ha skapt svake lag høyt i snødekket. Den 2.3. ble det observert rim på hardt underlag i Sauda. Hvis dette snør ned kan det bli et problem. Det er også observert begynnende kantkorn som gir brudd i fokksnøen.

Det er rapportert om litt løs snø i terrenget som vinden kan flytte på.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 9. March 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to moderate gale from the south during the evening. -12 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 10. March 2022

1-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Moderate gale from south, changing to strong breeze from the south during the afternoon. -9 °C to -1 °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

Noen steder kan det være lett å løse ut skred i den siste fokksnøen, tørre flakskred over mildværsgrensen og våte flakskred under mildværsgrensen. Under mildværsgrensen er det fare for naturlig utløste våte skred i bratte heng.
