Avalanche warning for region Salten Sunday 30.04.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Saturday 29. April 2023

Fredag kom det en del nedbør som regn i lavlandet, som gradvis gikk fra fuktig til tørr nysnø høyere i terrenget. Bygevær gjør at det trolig er stor forskjell i mengde nysnø. Den gamle snøpakka er stort sett helt smelteomdannet opp til 1000 moh.

Det svake laget av kantkorn som var i ferd med å utvikle seg under fokksnøen fra sist helg, er trolig avrundet og ikke lenger noe potensielt problem.

Mountain weather

Saturday 29. April 2023

5 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 30. April 2023

4-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -6 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Lokalt ventes det en del nysnø over 400 moh. Over tregrensen kan det på vindutsatte steder bli snøtransport som gir ferske flak med fokksnø i leområder. Det være lett for en skiløper å løse ut skred så lenge pålagringen pågår. Milde temperaturer gjør at stabiliseringen går fort i de laveste områdene, mens det høyt til fjells kan ta lenger tid.

Hold avstand til glidesprekker og skavler.
