Avalanche warning for region Heiane Friday 31.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Not much snow and generally safe conditions. Smaller slabs of wind deposited snow can be triggered in isolated features.

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)

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)

Thursday 30. May 2019

Det er lite snø igjen i regionen og gjenværende snø er smelteomvandlet og drenerer smeltevann godt.
I øst- og nordvendte botner er det sammenhengende snødekke over ca. 1300 moh. I sør og vestvendte områder er det lite eller ingen snø.

Natt til torsdag 30.05 ble det målt -1 grad ved Blåsjø 1105 moh.

Mountain weather

Thursday 30. May 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from southwest. -1 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 31. May 2019

1-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from west. -3 °C to 8 °C at 1100 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

Nysnø vil legge seg over et hardt gammelt snødekke og danne nysnøflak som vil kunne føre til små skred. Det gamle snødekket tåler både regn og varme godt. Det er smelteomvandlet og har ingen ugunstig lagdeling.
Skredvarslingen for sesongen 2018/2019 avsluttes 31.05. Vi takker for nå og minner om varslingsstart for neste sesong 01.12.2019.
