Avalanche warning for region Heiane Friday 02.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Solar radiation may result in avlanches triggered by skiers. The avlanche activity is increasing during the day.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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 1. April 2021

Mildvær til fjelltopphøyde har den siste tiden fuktet snødekket, som nå består av smelteomvandlet snø og flere skarelag. I høyden er det skare i overflaten pga. klarvær og lave nattetemperaturer. I lavereliggende terreng er snøpakken gjennomfuktet, og snøoverflaten er fortsatt fuktig. Topper og rygger er stort sett bare. Det ligger mest snø i nordvendte leheng, men det er store variasjoner innad i regionen. Det er lite snø under 500 moh, og generelt lite snø for årstiden.

Torsdag morgen er det -1,5 °C og rolige vindforhold ved Gullingen skisenter.

Friday 2. April 2021

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -7 °C to 2 °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

Snødekket fryser til i klarvær om natten. Der solen tar utover dagen vil snødekket bli mykt, og våte snøskred kan løsne.

Der oppsprukket snø glir på bratte, glatte sva, kan det være fare for glideskred. Unngå opphold under slike områder.
