Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 02.03.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some fresh snow may form storm slabs in protected ares, possibly on hard crust. Generally stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

Poor bonding between crust and overlying 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)

Friday 1. March 2019

Snøen er smelteomvandlet i lavlandet og gradvis mer lagdelt med høyden. Det har vært mildvær til topps, og i Suldalsheiane ble det rapportert om hard, glatt og bærende skare helt til 1600 moh. Det finnes bare små lommer av fokksnø. Snøgrensen har krøpet oppover, og mange rygger og kuler er bare. Det er mest snø i indre deler av regionen, i ytre strøk er det langt å gå til skiføre.

Etter mildværet er det ikke aktive svake lag i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Friday 1. March 2019

No precipitation. -9 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 2. March 2019

3 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from south. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1100 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

Litt ny nedbør vil sammen med rolige vindforhold kunne gi noen, mindre, ferske nysnøflak i høyden. Den nye snøen kan legge seg over glatt skare. Det vil lokalt være lett for en skiløper å løse ut små skred. Stigende temperatur og regn opp mot 800 moh kan utover dagen gi noen små, våte skred i lavere områder.
