Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 11.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Friday 10. December 2021

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen, men på grunn av kraftig vind den siste perioden er det lokalt mye snø i forsenkninger og renner. Under 600 moh ligger siste dagers nysnø på bar bakke. Fra 600 moh er snøfordelingen ujevn og flekkvis.

Det er observert kantkorn ved bakken i Sirdal, og dette kan være et større problem i indre strøk i høyfjellet.

Mountain weather

Friday 10. December 2021

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l. Moderate gale from east, changing to breeze from the east during the evening. -9 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 11. December 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -14 °C to -5 °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

Det kan være mulig løse ut skred i områder med fokksnøflak. Vær spesielt oppmerksom der fokksnøflakene er myke, og i overganger mellom tynt og tykt snødekke. Fokksnøflakene blir gradvis fastere og det skal generelt mer til for å påvirke underliggende svake lag. Hvis du hører drønn eller ser skytende sprekker skal du unngå skredterreng.
