Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Thursday 10.02.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Slab avalanche is easier to trigger the first part of the day.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

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 er mye nysnø, og kraftig vind natt til torsdag vil kunne danne ferske og ustabile flak i mange leheng. Skred vil da være lett å løse ut. Vær spesielt obs i skoggrensa, hvor ofte konsekvensene om man blir tatt i skred er store. Utover dagen roer været seg og skredfaren forventes å avta.
