Avalanche warning for region Heiane Thursday 25.04.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Wednesday 24. April 2019

Det har vært høye temperaturer i fjellet og snødekket i lavlandet er for det meste smelteomvandlet og stabilt. I sørvendte fjellsider er snøoverflaten i stor grad smelteomvandlet til topps og hardheten varierer med temperaturen.
I nord og skyggesider i høyden kan det fortsatt finnes finkornet snø og lagdelinger.
Det er generelt lite snø i regionen under 1000 moh.


Snøgrensen er på ca 600 - 800 moh, og høyest vest i regionen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 24. April 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from east. 0 °C to 8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 25. April 2019

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from east. 2 °C to 8 °C at 1100 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

Snødekket er generelt stabilt med smelteomvandlet snø. Vær likevel oppmerksom der snøen blir myk og våt, her kan det være mulig å løse ut mindre skred i bratte heng.

Glideskred kan forekomme på bratte og glatte fjellsider. Hold avstand om det er glidesprekker.

Vær også oppmerksom på faren for skavlbrudd fra rygger, egger og topper.
