Avalanche warning for region Heiane Friday 04.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of areas with recent wind slabs in areas with continuous snow cover. The wind is picking up and turns to easterly direction. Snow precipitation particles will blow towards sheltered areas. Also, snow on the ground will be eroded and deposited in wind sheltered slopes and couloirs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

on some 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)

Thursday 3. December 2020

Det var før onsdag lite snø i regionen. Frå onsdag vil eit større snøfall gjere at ein lengst sør i regionen vil finne mykje vindpåverka nysnø over tregrensa. Mest lengst sør i regionen, mellom Dalane/Sirdalsheiane og Åseral.

Ved Blåsjø (1150 moh) i Bykleheiane bles det torsdag morgon 12 m/s frå søraust. I Åseral vart det torsdag rapportert om 15 cm nysnø på 650 moh. I Valle kom det 20 cm på 900 moh.

Mountain weather

Thursday 3. December 2020

Friday 4. December 2020

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

Vinden aukar ytterlegare og dreier til austleg retning. Både nysnø og snø som ligg på bakken frå før, vil fyke over i nye leområde. Der snødekket er samanhengande, vil ein lett kunne løyse ut middels store skred i fersk fokksnø. Skredproblemet vil vere mest utbreidd søraust i regionen. Skred kan òg lausne naturleg.
