Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Friday 11.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. A persistent weak layer can be present underneath fresh wind deposited snow in isolated features.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Friday 11. 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.

Det er også observert begynnende kantkorn som gir brudd i fokksnøen.

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

Avalanche risk assessment

OPPDATERT FREDAG 08:30:
Fokksnøen stabiliseres gradvis, men enkelte steder kan det være lett å løse ut skred i den siste fokksnøen, som kan ligge over et svakt lag av kantkorn.

Hvis det blir en solrik dag kan bratte sørvendte sider bli varmet nok opp til at du kan løse ut små våte skred.
