Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Monday 04.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with wind deposited snow. Naturally released loose avalanches can occur in steep sun exposed faces.

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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

New snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Sunday 3. April 2022

Det kom jamt med nedbør forrige veke og det ligg stadvis mykje laussnø. I høgda i vindutsett terreng ligg den kalde nysnøen rett på hard overflate. I lunare formasjonar har snøen lagt seg på fuktig overflate og det er soleis gode bindingar. Vind gjennom sundagen har gitt snøtransport til austlege og søraustlege leheng.

I ytre deler av regionen har det vore lite nedbør og mykje terreng er avblese.


Det er generelt mykje snø i fjellet og snøgrensa er stadvis framleis til havnivå.

Det finst lag av kantkorn i snødekket, men det har ikkje nok ugunstige eigenskapar førebels til å utgjere eit skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Sunday 3. April 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -11 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 4. April 2022

4 mm precipitation, up to 9 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the north during renoon. -10 °C to -3 °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

Det ligg ferske fokksnøflak i hovedsakleg austlege leheng. Låg temperatur og ny pålagring gjer at stabiliseringa går sakte. Stadvis kan flak ligge på hardt underlag, eventuelt svake lag av kantkorn/overflaterim og soleis vere lette å løyse ut.

Store nysnømengder gjer at ein lyt forvente enkelte laussnøskred i bratt sørvendt terreng.
