Avalanche warning for region Heiane Thursday 07.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on lee slopes with fresh wind slabs in the alpine. The danger level is low where the surface is hard.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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)

Wednesday 6. April 2022

Siden helgen har det kommet 10-20 cm nysnø i fjellet. Vind har dannet flak i nysnøen og snøoverflaten veksler mellom ny mykere snø og eldre bærende fokksnø eller skare. Det ligger mest fersk snø i leheng mot øst.

Det er tidligere observert kantkorn i snødekket enkelte steder, og lenger nord er det observert noe overflaterim, men problemet virker ikke veldig utbredt i Heiane.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 6. April 2022

Thursday 7. April 2022

8-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from east, changing to breeze from the east during the evening. -8 °C to -3 °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

Noe ny nedbør sammen med vind fra øst vil danne små ferske ustabile flak i leheng mot vest. Eldre fokksnøflak har gradvis fått stabilisert seg.
