Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Saturday 27.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Sun and high temperatures gives risk of wet loose-snow and slab avalanches in steep sun-exposed terrain. Be careful in south facing slopes in the afternoon.
A persistant weak layer of facets may be present in some northerly aspects at elevation.
Also be aware of cornice falls and glide avalanches.

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

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.

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 ligger litt nysnø i fjellet etter snøfall i helga og tirsdag. Mindre nysnø jo lengre sør i regionen man kommer. I skyggen har snøen hold seg tørr, mens sørvendte heng er solpåvirka.

Under den nye snøen er det gamle snødekket generelt hardt og i stor grad smelteomdanna, bortsett fra i nordsider på de høyeste toppene.

Snøgrensa i Jølster ligger mellom 500 og 800 moh avhengig av himmelretning.

Før snøfallet var det forhold for kantkorndannelse på hard overflate. Stedvis kan disse lagene nå ha snødd ned.

Mountain weather

Friday 26. April 2024

No precipitation. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 27. April 2024

No precipitation. 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

Dersom solen varmer snødekket, kan det være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred. Enkelte skred kan også gå naturlig.

I nordvendte sider i høyfjellet kan det ligge tørre ferske fokksnøflak som fremdeles kan være lette å løse ut.

Varme vårdager gir fare for skavelbrudd og glideskred. Det kan heller ikke utelukkes at det går enkelte store flakskred når vann trenger ned i snødekket.
