Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Tuesday 29.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be cautious in steep terrain with wind slabs that could be triggered. Glow of sun can cause a risk of loose snow avalanches in the fresh snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

New snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few 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)

Monday 28. March 2022

Snøoverflaten er preget av variasjoner i temperatur den siste tiden. Lange perioder med høy temperatur har gitt smelteomdannet snødekke høyt til fjells.
Perioder med nattefrost har gitt gjenfrysing og skarelag i overflaten.
Det finnes ferske fokksnøflak i østlige lesider over mildværsgrensen.
Det er mye snø i fjellet og snøgrensa ligger mellom 200 og 400 moh.

Det finnes stedvis kantkorn i snødekket, sist observert onsdag 23. mars. Det har fortsatt ikke nok ugunstige egenskaper til å være et skredproblem, men må følges med på.

Mountain weather

Monday 28. March 2022

7 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l Monday night. Moderate gale from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -9 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 29. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the north during renoon. -13 °C to -7 °C at 1400 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

I høyden vil det finnes fokksnøflak fra de siste dagene som fortsatt kan påvirkes og gi middels store skred. Glatt underlag gjør at skredbaner noen steder kan bli lange.

Der det er kommet ny, løs snø vil mulighet for soloppvarming gi fare for naturlig utløste løssnøskred i den nye snøen.

Ellers vil kaldere luft gi gjenfrysing og hard snøoverflate der det ikke kommer ny snø.
