Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 07.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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.

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

Etter hvert som temperaturen går ned og vil faren for våte skred avta noe.

Hvis sola etter hvert titter fram og temperaturene stiger vil den svekke snødekket slik at det kan være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred i bratte heng. I solvendte heng kan enkelte våte løssnøskred løsne av seg selv.

I områder hvor det er nok snø kan det fortsatt være fare for enkelte glideskred, glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
