Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable avalanche conditions. Be cautious in steep terrain, storm slabs can be triggered.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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 18. February 2022

Opp til 600-800 moh er det skarelag med nysnø over. Høyere oppe er det nå generelt store mengder snø. De fleste steder er snøen bundet i flere myke flak med ulike sjiktoverganger innad. I lune formasjoner er det løs snø.

Det er funnet kantkorn under fokksnøen på 700moh ved Stryn. Dette kan ha blitt dannet etter mildværet sist helg. Utbredelse er usikker og dette regnes ikke som et skredproblem pr i dag.

Tirsdag ble det obsertvert 3 naturlig utløste flakskred str 2 over Bøasetra ved Stryn. Løsnet på 800-900moh. Også observert små naturlig utløste skred over Kvitenova på Strynefjellet tirsdag.

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

Der vinden får tak kan det ligge myke flak av nysnø som det er lett å løse ut skred i. Enkelte steder kan skred bli middels store.

Det er mye løs/myk snø i fjellet. Dersom det kommer mer vind enn meldt vil skredfaren øke raskt.
