Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Saturday 23.12.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Friday 22. December 2023

Snø og vind torsdag og kraftig vind fredag gjør at snøoverflaten varierer mellom fersk vindtransportert snø og løsere snø i leområder. Vindutsatte områder er avblåst.
Under den ferske snøen er snødekket preget av sist helgs kraftige mildvær, og består grovt sett av smelteomvandlet snø. Fra tregrensa og høyere ligger dette under et bærende skarelag. Under tregrensa er skaren ikke bærende.

Tidligere observerte lag av kantkorn og rim forventes ikke å utgjøre noe problem lengre


Naturlig utløste flakskred str. 2 observert i Sogndalsdalen.
Det meldes også om at skiløper har fjernutløst skred på ryggen mellom Togga og Nystølfjellet.

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

Roligere vindforhold, men fortsatt kaldt. De ferske fokksnøflakene trenger noe mer tid på å stabilisere seg.
