Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 02.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
When the sun comes out, the danger will rise in areas where the new snow becomes wet and soft. Be careful close to terrain traps and cornices.

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)

Loose 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)

Monday 1. April 2024

Varmt vær med høy snøgrense de siste dagene fuktet opp hele snødekket opp til 800 - 900 moh. Snøen drenerer smeltevann godt. Nattefrosten gjør at snødekket fryser igjen om natten. Fortsatt er det godt med snø i regionen og snøen ligger jevnt fordelt i terrenget.

Snøgrensen går 400 - 500 moh.




Ved Store Skykula og i Hunnedalen er det observert våte skred, ferske glidesprekker, skavlbrudd og mye vann i snøen. Det er også observert våte skred ved Sandtjødnbekken i Gaustøldalen.

Mountain weather

Monday 1. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from east. -5 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 2. April 2024

No precipitation. Strong breeze from northeast, changing to breeze from the northeast during the afternoon. -6 °C to 3 °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

Soloppvarming gjør at faren for våte løssnøskred i svært bratt terreng øker utover dagen. Skal du kjøre bratt sørvendt, vil timingen være avgjørende.

Vær oppmerksom på at skavler mange steder er store. Hold god avstand til skavler og glidesprekker. Både skavlbrudd og glideskred er vanskelig å forutse.
