Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
In general stable conditions. Wet loose avalanches can be triggered on steep, sunny slopes.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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 13. March 2022

Snødekket fremstår som stabilt også på de høyeste fjelltoppene. Sol og høye dagtemperaturer gjør at snøen i solutsatt terreng fuktes opp om dagen, og kalde nattetemperaturer gjør at det våte snødekket fryser til om natten. I skyggefullt terreng består snødekket i hovedsak av harde og igjenfrosset smelteformer.

Over 900 moh kan det ligge et dryss av nysnø.

Det er observert en god del naturlig utløste skred de siste dagene.

Det er observert glidesprekker ved Pilan på Austvågøya.

Mountain weather

Sunday 13. March 2022

Monday 14. March 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -4 °C to 5 °C at 700 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

Stort sett stabile forhold. Der hvor snøen bløtes opp av sol og/eller høye temperaturer kan det være mulig å løse ut et og annet skred i bratt terreng.
