Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 03.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Solar radiation may result in natural avalanche activity. Avlanches could also be triggered by skiers. The avlanche activity are increasing during the day. Keep distance to areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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.

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

Skred kan løsne av seg selv i bratte solvendte heng. Solen kan destabilisere små flak som ble dannet i går, slik at de blir lette å løse ut.

Det er fare for glideskred som kan løsne hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
