Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Thursday 17. February 2022

Snøoverflaten er nå preget av tørr løssnø fra toppen og ned til fjorden. Det har vært litt skiftende vindretning de siste dagene, men dominerende retning har vært vest i en lang periode nå i kombinasjon med store snødump. Dette har ført til at østvendte sider har svært mye snø. Mildværet i helga gikk opp til ca. 800moh.

Det finnes kantkorn under skarelag dypt nede i snødekket. Dette vurderes ikke som et aktivt skredproblem per dags dato.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 16. February 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during renoon. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -11 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 17. February 2022

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -16 °C to -5 °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 løssnø i terrenget og vind fra ulike retninger danner ferske fokksnøflak i leheng i flere himmelretninger. Ferske flak vil være lett å løse ut.
