Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 02.03.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow pack is mostly stable, but high temperatures and solar radiation may cause some loose avalanches, especially in sun exposed terrain.

Wet snow on steep bedrock surfaces may be a danger sign of glide avalanches (snow glide on the ground). Avoid staying under such areas.

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)

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)

Monday 1. March 2021

Snødekket er smelteomdannet til fjelltopphøyde. Sol og mild luft har varmet snøoverflaten på dagtid, mens klarvær har gitt utstråling og tilfrysing om natta. Snøoverflaten varierer dermed mellom våt snø og bærende skare.

Det er lite eller ingen snø igjen i lavlandet. Også i fjellet er det lite snø for årstiden.

Mandag morgen var temperaturen på Blåsjø (1105 moh) i Bykle -3 grader. Det blåste 8 m/s fra nordvest.

Mountain weather

Monday 1. March 2021

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from northwest. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 2. March 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -3 °C to 1 °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

Snødekket er stort sett stabilt, men varme og solinnstråling kan gi noen løssnøskred, spesielt i solvendt, bratt terreng.

Oppsprukket og våt snø som ligger på glatte, bratte sva kan være et forvarsel om glideskred (snø som glir på bakken). Unngå opphold under slike områder.
