Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 11.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
The danger increases when the wind picks up. Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 10. January 2022

Regionen er for det meste snødekt frå omlag 300 moh, men mykje av terrenget er kun dekt av det siste snøfallet.

Det var observasjonar på overflaterim i slutten av forrige veke og stadvis kan dette no ligge som vedvarande svakt lag i snødekket. Utbreiinga er førebels usikker, men ein lyt vere merksam.

Mountain weather

Monday 10. January 2022

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during the evening. Moderate gale from southeast. -8 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 11. January 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the west during renoon. -3 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Pågåande sterk vind og stadvis mykje ny nedbør vil gje stor pålagring og fokksnøflak i nordvestlege til nordaustlege leheng.

Fokksnøflak kan ligge på nedføyka overflaterim og soleis vere svært lette å løyse ut.
