Avalanche warning for region Heiane Thursday 20.01.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. Use caution in lee areas with wind deposited snow, especially in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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)

Wednesday 19. January 2022

Der det ligger sammenhengende snø består snøoverflaten hovedsakelig av vindpåvirket snø med varierende hardhet. Det gamle og stedvis beskjedne snødekket antas å være stabilt etter mildvær og gjenfrysing. Det er generelt lite snø i regionen.

Få observasjoner de siste dagene, men det er også lite snø i store deler av regionen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 19. January 2022

30 mm precipitation, up to 40 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l Wednesday night. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to moderate gale from the northwest during the afternoon. -10 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 20. January 2022

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -11 °C to -6 °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

Nysnø og vind har gitt fersk fokksnø i leområder i høyfjellet. Når været roer seg vil fokksnøen gradvis stabilisere seg. Det kan fortsatt være lett å løse ut middels store skred i noen heng, særlig høyt til fjells. Nordlige deler av regionen som har de høyestliggende områdene har høyest skredfare.
