Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Monday 14.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Sunday 13. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt og hardt, preget av mye vind fra sørøst og varierende temperatur den siste uka. Under skoggrensa er det bare delvis snødekt. I fjellet er det mer sammenhengende skiføre, men rygger og vindutsatte områder er isete eller snøfrie.

Mountain weather

Sunday 13. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 14. December 2020

2-6 mm precipitation. Moderate gale from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1400 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

Kraftig vind og mulighet for litt ny nedbør vil gi noen mindre, ferske fokksnøflak i høyden som kan være lette å løse ut. Vær oppmerksom på at selv små skred på isete overflate eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein. Øst i regionen, ved Strynefjellet, kan fokksnøflakene også være større.
