Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 27.04.2024

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.
  • The danger is greatest from Saturday afternoon

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 26. April 2024

Det har kommet noe nysnø denne uken som har gitt fokksnøflak i leområder. Snødekket preges ellers av hard fokksnø eller skare som solen varmer opp utover dagen.

Snøgrensa varierer mellom 500 og 900 moh og ligger lavest i skyggesider i indre strøk.

Mountain weather

Friday 26. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east, changing to breeze from the east during the afternoon. -8 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 27. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from east, changing to fresh breeze from the east during the evening. -10 °C to 4 °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

Der sola varmer overflata kan det være mulig å løse ut små løssnøskred i bratt terreng.
I høyfjellet kan det fortsatt ligge fokksnøflak i skyggesider. En skiløper kan påvirke disse flakene i noen få heng. Det er ellers stabile forhold

Glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet der snødekket glir på glatt underlag. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
