Avalanche warning for region Heiane Thursday 10.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution in steep terrain with wind slabs. Naturally released wet avalanches may occur due to rising temperatures and rain.

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).

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)

Wednesday 9. March 2022

Over skogen er snødekket vindpåvirket i varierende grad. I formasjoner skjermet for vind kan du finne løsere snø. Stedvis solskare i bratte solvendte heng, som mykner opp om sola tar på dagtid. Det er nå godt med snø i hele regionen, og særlig øst- og nordvendte leområder har samlet store mengder snø.

Det er observert rim og kantkorn høyt i snødekket, flere steder i regionen. Nå sist under mildværsskare. Hvis dette snør ned kan det bli et problem. Det er også rapportert om noen naturlig utløste skred og drønn, som kan indikere vedvarende svake lag.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 9. March 2022

Thursday 10. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from southeast. -5 °C to 0 °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

Noen steder kan det være lett å løse ut skred i den siste fokksnøen, tørre flakskred over mildværsgrensen og våte flakskred under mildværsgrensen. Under mildværsgrensen er det fare for naturlig utløste våte skred i bratte heng.
