Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Tuesday 27.02.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind drifted snow in the alpine, otherwise stable conditions.

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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Monday 26. February 2024

Opp til omtrent 500 moh er det gjennomslagskare som gjør skiføret krevende.
Fra ca. 500 moh og opp er det stort sett fuktig snø eller myk fokksnø. Utsatte steder er det avblåst ned til mildværsskare som ble dannet i slutten av januar.

Det finnes lag av kantkorn i snøen, men de er avrundet eller skjermet av hard fokksnø/skare og regnes ikke som et aktivt skredproblem lenger.

Mountain weather

Monday 26. February 2024

6 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during renoon. Breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 27. February 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the southeast. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Skredfaren er knyttet til områder med tørr fokksnø høyt til fjells. Muligheter for en del vind kan gi noen små nye fokksnøflak som kan være lette å løse ut. Stabile forhold der snøoverflaten er påvirket av mildværet som har vært.
