Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Saturday 28.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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 27. May 2022

Snødekket i regionen varierer, men er i hovedsak smelteomdannet og homogent. Mot nord og vest kan man finne sammenhengende skiføre fra ca. 900 moh, mens man i andre himmelretninger må høyere. Stedvis er det også bart til topps. I nordhellinger over 1100 moh kan det fortsatt finnes lommer med lagdelt snø.

Det er observert lommer med svakt lag med kantkorn i nordlige fjellsider høyt til fjells, men det virker å være lite aktivt.

Torsdag ble det observert et glideskred i Ullensvang.

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 kan løsne løssnøskred når temperaturen stiger utover dagen. Vær obs ved ferdsel i bratte formasjoner, spesielt over 1100 moh mot nord. Her kan det finnes lagdelinger i snøen som kan påvirkes.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd og glideskred.
Glideskred er uforutsigbare og kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
