Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Friday 12.04.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in steep sun-exposed aspects for small natural triggered avalanches. Do also an extra evaluation of dry old wind slabs if you are going into north facing steep slopes in the alpine. Faceted crystals are developing high in the snowpack in the cold weather.

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)

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)

Thursday 11. April 2019

Snøoverflaten består de fleste steder av skare, noen steder knallhard, andre steder bryter skaren. Det er kaldt i lufta men i bratte solvendte fjellsider mykner overfalten opp på dagtid. Det er stor forskjell på sør- og nordvendte fjellsider.
Det er fortsatt mulig å finne litt tørr fokksnø mot N over ca 1000 moh.

Det foregår kantkornutvikling høyt i snødekket særlig mot N dette må følges med på. Stedvis i overflaten, andre steder under fokksnø mot gammelsnøen. Foreløpig virker ikke dette å utgjøre et skredproblem.

Snøgrensa går ved 5-800 moh, minst snø ved kysten og i sørhellinger.

Mountain weather

Thursday 11. April 2019

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -11 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 12. April 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -10 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Fortsatt kaldt og pent vær gjør at snødekket holder seg stabilt. I bratte solvendte heng vil det kunne gå enkelte våte løssnøskred, ellers ventes snøoverflaten å holde seg hard. Gjør også en ekstra vurdering på hvor godt eventuell fokksnø sitter dersom du har tenkt deg inn i bratte nordvendte heng høyt til fjells.
