Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 29.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe conditions. Use caution on isolated features. Small wind slabs could be triggered. A warm front is due in the evening.

Avalanche problems

New 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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many 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)

Overflata preges av nysnø som har kommet med lite vind de siste dagene. Under nysnøen finnes stedvis fokksnø nordøst i regionen. Men de fleste steder ligger nysnøen på bar bakke eller hard skare fra mildvær forrige helg.

Under ca. 700-800 moh er det lite eller ingen snø.

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

Forholdene ventes generelt sett å være stabile. Men vær varsom i enkelte heng med fersk fokksnø. Nysnøen fra tidligere i uka ventes å ha stabilisert seg.

Fra om kvelden ventes mildere vær, og det kan gå små våte skred.
