Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 23.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

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.

Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface

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)

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 22. April 2024

Det ligg nysnø i fjellet etter snøfall i helga. I skuggefullt terreng i høgda er det framleis tørr snø. Sola har påvirka snøen i solsidene.

Det gamle snødekket er generelt stabilt og i stor grad smelteomdanna, bortsett frå i nordsider på dei høgaste toppane.

Snøgrensa går langt høgare i sørvendt terreng enn i nordvendt.

Vêrforholda siste tid før snøfallet ga høve for kantkorndanning i overflata.

Laurdag er det observasjon av eit lite personutløyst skred ved Sandfjellet.

Mountain weather

Monday 22. April 2024

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Calm/light breeze from southwest. -9 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 23. April 2024

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Fresh breeze from north. -8 °C to 0 °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

Enkelte flak av fokksnø frå helga kan bli påvirka av skiløpar i skuggevendte botnar. Det har vore forhold for kantkorndanning i overflata på det eldre snødekket, så flaka kan lausne lett.

Temperaturstigning utover dagen kan gjere snøen våt nok til at skiløpar kan lausne skred i den finkorna snøen frå sist snøfall.

Glideskred kan losne heile døgnet der snødekket glir på glatt underlag. Unngå opphald under glidesprekker.
