Avalanche warning for region Heiane Wednesday 11.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Wet loose avalanches are the biggest problem. Naturally triggered avalanches can occure in steep terrain. Avoid areas under glide cracks. Lower avalanche danger below treeline. In higher areas fresh storm slabs is a problem.

Avalanche problems

Wet 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.

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

Mye regn vil gi fare for våte skred under ca 1400 moh.
På grunn av lite snø under tregrensen vil det kun være mulighet for større skred høyt til fjells. I enkelte tilfeller kan disse nå lengre ned i dalen.

Vær oppmerksom på at skavler kan være store og svekkes i varmen.

Det kan fortsatt være fare for enkelte glideskred, glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
