Avalanche warning for region Heiane Wednesday 08.03.2023
Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger
Published:
It might be easy to trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs since the wind slabs might rest on a persistent weak layer of facets. The avalanche danger is moderate in the western part of the region as most of the snow are expected here. In the eastern part, the avalanche dager is lower.
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)
Tuesday 7. March 2023
Snøoverflaten er varierende. På vindutsatte plasser er det avblåst ned til skare. Der solen tidligere har fått tak og det senere har frosset kan det også være skare. For øvrig består snøoverflaten av fokksnøflak av varierende hardhet. Flere steder har fokksnøen tørket ut og blitt omdannet til kantkornet snø i overflaten.

Avalanche risk assessment
Vest i regionen, der det kommer mest nedbør, kan det være lett å løse ut skred i fersk, vindtransportert snø. Den nye vindtransporterte snøen vil legge seg over et vedvarende svakt lag av kantkornet snø. Skredfaren øker mot kvelden når nedbøren kommer.
Der snøoverflaten består av hard skare, er snøskredfaren lavere.
