Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 14.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
There could be some small wind slabs in gullies, couloirs, and small bowls. The avalanche problem will be very local due to the small amount of snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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)

Tuesday 13. December 2022

Det er foreløpig lite snø og mye oppstikkende stein og busker. I forrige uke kom det 10-30 cm nysnø med vind fra nordvest. Pga. bygevær varierer nedbørsmengden innad i regionen. Det har kommet mest snø i Nordfjord, mindre lengre sør.

Snøen som kom forrige uke la seg på barmark. Der det lå fjorårssnø kan det finnes et rimlag som danner et vedvarende svakt lag. Det kalde klare været den siste tiden har gjort at all snø har begynt å omdannes til kantkorn.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 13. December 2022

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northeast. -30 °C to -12 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 14. December 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Calm/light breeze from northeast. -25 °C to -8 °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

Vind kan danne ferske fokksnøflak i den gamle snøen. Disse flakene vil være harde, og mest sannsynlig små, men de kan være veldig lette å løse ut dersom de ligger på kantkorn.

Det er et tynt snødekke med mye oppstikkende stein. Det er viktig å vurdere konsekvensene ved et eventuelt skred.
