Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Saturday 29.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Large amounts of precipitation will weaken the snowpack considerably. Keep good distance to avalanche terrain and run out zones for wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Friday 28. January 2022

I høyfjellet er utsatte formasjoner avblåst til mildværsskare. I skjermede formasjoner ligger det mye innblåst snø - hovedsaklig i østlige fjellsider. Snøoverflaten er fuktig og blir gradvis tørrere med høyden.

Tidligere perioder med mildvær har nok i stor grad stabilisert vedvarende svake lag i regionen.
Over ca 1300 moh kan det finnes vedvarende svake lag, men de antas å ligge under hard fokksnø og regnes ikke som skredproblem.

Observasjon fra Jostedalen fredag morgen sier 20 cm tørr løssnø i skogen på ca 550moh.

Mountain weather

Friday 28. January 2022

12 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during the evening. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -11 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 29. January 2022

50 mm precipitation, up to 80 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1300 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to gale from the northwest during the afternoon. -10 °C to 2 °C at 1400 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

Mye nedbør og sterk vind vil danne store ferske fokksnøflak i østvendte fjellsider i høyfjellet. Naturlig utløste skred er sannsynlig.
Milde temperaturer gir regn på snø opp til ca 1100-1300 moh. og det kan gå naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred. Utover ettermiddagen vil lavere temperatur og snøbyger gi en gunstig oppbygging på de ferske flakene under ca 1100-1300moh.
Unngå skredterreng og utløpsområder.
