Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Monday 25.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware in steep lee areas in higher elevations and northern aspect. Dry wind slabs are possible to release here. If/when the sun comes out, be careful where the snow becomes wet and soft.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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 are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Sunday 24. March 2024

Vind og snø fredag og lørdag førte til ansamlinger av fokksnøflak i fjellet mot nord og øst. Under den ferske fokksnøen i høyden er det hardt og stabilt fra tidligere.

I lavlandet er det lite snø etter mye mildvær i det siste.

Det finnes et svakt lag av kantkorn over ca 1100 moh. Dette vurderes ikke som et skredproblem per dags dato. Det ble observert kantkorn i snødekket under skare seinest onsdag 20.03 ved Ullensvang.

Mountain weather

Sunday 24. March 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -10 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 25. March 2024

1-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l Monday night. Breeze from southeast. -11 °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

Litt ny nedbør i kombinasjon med rolig vind ventes ikke føre til noen endring i faregraden.

Gunstige temperaturer for stabilisering gjør at det nå skal mer til å løsne flakskred i fokksnøen fra fredag og lørdag. Vær likevel forsiktig i høyfjellet og særlig i skyggesider. Her trenger snøen lenger tid på stabilisering.

Om sola titter fram vil det kunne gå enkelte små naturlig utløste løsnøskred i bratte solsider.
