Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 01.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Wet avalanches can occur in lower areas. Be careful beneath and in the vicinity of cornices.

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).

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)

Monday 28. February 2022

I skogen er snøen mange steder ubundet. Over skogen er snødekket vindpåvirket i varierende grad. På de mest vindutsatte plassene er det hardere fokksnø eller skare. Det er nå godt med snø i hele regionen, og særlig øst- og nordvendte leområder har samlet store mengder snø.

Mandag meldes det om naturlig utløste små skred ved Såteheia i Hjelmeland. Disse løsnet som følge av vindtransport.

Mountain weather

Monday 28. February 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Moderate gale from south. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 1. March 2022

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Strong breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the west during renoon. -4 °C to -1 °C at 1100 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

I høyden vil litt ny snø gi noen ferske fokksnøflak som vil være lett å påvirke.

I lavere områder vil regn i snøen gi fare for våte skred.

Vær oppmerksom på at det kan være fare for glideskred der snø ligger mot glatte berg.
