Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 01.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some 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.

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

Regn høyt til fjells vil føre til noen naturlig utløste løssnøskred, særlig i høydebeltet som får nysnø først, deretter regn. Skredene ventes ikke å bli så store.

I de høyestliggende toppene i feks i Suldalområdet vil det legge seg opp noen ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder.
