Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 01.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
There is little snow and generally stable conditions in the region. Snowfall is expected on Monday, above 1000 m a.s.l. Where the wind has affected the snow surface, small slabs may be triggered in exposed slopes.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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.

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

Det er lite svært snø i fjellet og generelt stabilt. Over ca. 1000 moh, kan ein finne nysnø frå siste snøfall på måndag. Roleg vind gjer at denne truleg er berre lett bunden. Skredfaren er jamnt over liten.
