Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 24.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

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)

Friday 23. December 2022

Det har kommet jevnt med snø i høyden den siste uken. I høyden har vind gitt flakdannelser av varierende hardhet.
Temperaturstigning og regn mandag og tirsdag ga et fuktig og vått snødekke opp til ca. 1000 moh. Synkende snøgrense i etterkant har gitt nysnø over regnskare mange steder.

Observatør meldte onsdag om fortsatt intakt kantkornlag over ca 900 moh. Dette ligger nå under mer bærende fokksnø.

Mountain weather

Friday 23. December 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -14 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Saturday 24. December 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -19 °C to -9 °C at 1100 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

Det er kaldt i høyden og stabiliseringen går sakte. Det kan fortsatt være lett å løse ut mindre skred. Problemet kan finnes i flere himmelretninger etter varierende vind.
Vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn i snødekket kan fortsatt være til stede i høyden. Drønn og skytende sprekker er tegn på at vedvarende svake lag fortsatt er aktive.
