Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 28.03.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Loose snow

Glide avalanches

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 27. March 2020

Snøoverflata er gjennomgående hard, utan særlig innsynkning med ski på beina. Overflata vekslar i hovedsak mellom tørr og våt skare/bruddskare og kompakt eldre fokksnø.

Det er vårlege tendenser i fjellet med sammenhengende skiføre fra om lag 600 moh.



I Øvstabødalen og Hunneldalen vart det torsdag rapportert om omfattande oppsprekking av våt snø som ligg på glatte sva. Dette tydar på at snøen glir mot bakken.

Mountain weather

Friday 27. March 2020

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -4 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 28. March 2020

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -2 °C at 1100 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

Kjølegare vêr stabiliserar snødekket, men ein lyt framleis vere merksam på våte laussnøskred i bratte sørvendte fjellsider.

Glideskred kan oppstå i områder der våt oppsprukket snø ligg på glatte sva. Hald avstand til slike områder og store skavlar.
