Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Tuesday 01.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

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)

Monday 30. November 2020

Litt nysnø frå natt til måndag la seg på snøoverflata ned til 200 moh. I høgfjellet finn ein både laussnø og vindpakka mjuk snø i overflata. Under 1100 moh. er det skare under nysnøen. Underliggande snødekke har gode bindingar mellom laga.
Det ligg mest snø i aust- og nordaustlege heng, men ein finn snø i alle himmleretningar. Skiføre frå om lag 400 moh.

Det vert meldt om eit lite (str- 1) skikøyrarutløyst skred på søndag.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 1. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Somme stader kan ein løyse ut skred i fokksnøen som har blitt danna dei siste dagane. Bindingane mellom fokksnøen og underliggande snø vil etterkvart bli sterkare. Underliggande snø vert rekna som stabil.
