Avalanche warning for region Heiane Sunday 06.02.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avalanches will be easy to trigger when the weather hits. Use caution in 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)

Saturday 5. February 2022

Påfyll av snø fredag nesten til havnivå med opp mot 15cm løs nysnø. Ingen såle i lavlandet. God såle fra ca. 500 moh med skiføre i lefomasjoner. Over 1000-1100 moh er det jevnt skiføre og mer snø. Over skogen er snøoverflata vindpåvirket og det ligger mest snø i høyden i østvendte heng. Ellers avblåst barmark eller gammel skare.

Fredag meldes det om fravær av skredaktivitet siste døgn under 1000moh.

Lørdag morgen ligger det 13cm tørr nysnø i Sirdal på 500moh og det er -2grader.

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

Nedbør og vind fra vest gir fokksnøflak over mildværsgrensa. Det vil være lett å løse ut skred for skiløper i fersk fokksnø og noen steder kan skred bli store. Det er i hovedsak den ferskeste snøen som er ustabil. Fokksnøflak fra dagene tidligere i uka ventes å være stabile.
