Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 09.01.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 8. January 2022

Snødekket er svært variert med generelt lite snø i låglandet og i ytre del. Mest snø i indre og høgareliggande del av regionen. Det ligg snø heilt til havnivå, men er ingen såle før på ca 500 moh. Over tregrensa er snøoverflata mykje prega av kraftig vind.

4. jan vart det observert nedføyket overflaterim i eit skjerma heng på 1400 moh. Utbreiinga er truleg begrensa.

Mountain weather

Saturday 8. January 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -19 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Sunday 9. January 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -20 °C to -7 °C at 1400 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

Det ligg ustabile fokksnøflak i alle himmelretningar som treng tid på å stabilisere seg. Dei ferskaste flaka vil ligge i nordvestlege leområder.

Det er observert nedføyka overflaterim, og skred i dette laget kan både fjernutløysast og verte store. Utbreiinga er førebels ukjent, men ein lyt vere merksam på lune stadar i høgda.
