Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 13.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in the alpine, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Saturday 12. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt og hardt, preget av mye vind fra sørøst og varierende temperatur den siste uka. Under skoggrensa er det bare delvis snødekt. I fjellet er det mer sammenhengende skiføre, men rygger og vindutsatte områder er isete eller snøfrie. Mildvær mandag har påvirket overflata opp til 1400 moh.

Mountain weather

Saturday 12. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -11 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Sunday 13. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -8 °C to -1 °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

Skredproblemet finnes høyt til fjells i skjermede formasjoner. Det vil generelt kreves stor tilleggsbelastning for å løse ut skred. Vær oppmerksom på at selv små skred på isete overflate eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein. Øst i regionen, ved Strynefjellet, kan fokksnøflakene være større og lettere å påvirke.
