Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 02.12.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe avalanche conditions and thin snow cover. There is a persistent weak layer at the ground that can be triggered if there are overlying wind slabs. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rockery terrain.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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) Remote triggering is possible.

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)

Sunday 1. December 2019

Det har kommet ubetydelig med snø i helga og overflata er preget av fokksnø på vindutsatte steder og løsere ubunden snø der vinden ikke har tatt. Det er svært lite snø i regionen og sporadisk skiføre over 700 m. Det er mest snø øst i regionen. Det gamle snødekket fra november har godt utviklede kantkorn mot bakken og flere overliggende skarelag.

Kantkorn ved bakken kan muligens påvirkes hvis det ligger fokksnøflak over.

Det snør litt vest i regionen søndag og det har blitt kvitt på bakken ved Sirdal skisenter (500moh)

Mountain weather

Sunday 1. December 2019

3-6 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 2. December 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -9 °C to -3 °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

Skredproblemet er begrenset til de leformasjonene der det finnes innblåst snø fra sist uke. Fokksnøen kan påvirkes ved liten tilleggsbelastning særlig der den ligger på tynt snødekke av kantkornet snø. Vær oppmerksom på at oppstikkende stein kan gjøre selv harmløse skred farlige.
