Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Saturday 27.03.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Friday 26. March 2021

Snøoverflata er preget av høye temperaturer og vekslende vær den siste uka, tidvis plussgrader opp til 1000 moh. Under denne høyden er snøen våt og delvis smelteomdanna. Høyere til fjells er rygger og fjelltopper er avblåst. Det ligger mest fokksnø i leheng mot nord og øst. Det er lite snø for årstida og under tregrensa er det tynt snødekke begrensa skiføre mange steder.

Vedvarande svake lag frå kuldeperioden i januar/februar kan fortsatt være et problem noen steder over 1300 moh.

Mountain weather

Friday 26. March 2021

14 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from south. -5 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 27. March 2021

7-10 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from south, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1400 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

Over fredagens mildværsgrense kan det finnes ustabile nysnøflak i de høyeste fjellområdene. Disse kan fortsatt påvirkes av en enkelt skiløper. Kaldere vær utover dagen gjør at faren for våte skred avtar.

Høgt til fjells kan det finnes svake lag av kantkorn djupt i snødekket i enkelte heng.
