Avalanche warning for region Heiane Sunday 10.03.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain where the snow is very wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

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)

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)

Saturday 9. March 2024

Snøen er hard og bærende de fleste plasser i fjellet. Sørsider mykner opp ut på ettermiddagen dersom solen ligger på. På onsdag kom det noen cm nysnø i østlige deler av regionen. Den ligger nå mest i NV-vendt terreng etter at vinden har flyttet på den.

Det er observert rim i overflaten både øst og vest i regionen.

Mountain weather

Saturday 9. March 2024

No precipitation. Strong breeze from east. -11 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Sunday 10. March 2024

No precipitation. Strong breeze from east. -10 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Generelt stabile forhold. Vinden kjøler snødekket slik at det ikke er noen stor fare for våte skred. Det kan allikevel være mulig i områder som er skjermet for vind.

Små fokksnøflak kan påvirkes i høyden. Mest utsatt er NV-vendte heng i østlige deler av regionen.
