Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 06.03.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. The exception are small wind slabs in higher areas that can be triggered, especially where slabs rests on a layer of buried surface hoar.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (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) Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of surface hoar

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 5. March 2023

Sol og klart vær har gitt smelting på dagtid og gjenfrysing om natten de siste dagene. I høyden er det mye fin, uttørket snø i overflaten på bærende skare. På utsatte plasser er det avblåst ned til skare.

Mountain weather

Sunday 5. March 2023

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -15 °C to -6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 6. March 2023

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from east. -20 °C to -7 °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 kan på utsatte plasser være lett å løse ut små skred. Spesielt i leheng mot øst og sør, der vind de siste dagene kan ha lagt opp ferske flak. Stedvis kan disse ligge over et svakt lag med overflaterim. Sprekker og drønn i snødekket er tydelige tegn på ustabilitet.
Det er usikkert om også litt ny snø kan legge opp noen mindre flak i nye hengretninger.

I bratte solsider kan det løsne noen mindre løssnøskred.

Ellers generelt stabile forhold.
