Avalanche warning for region Heiane Tuesday 28.03.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid staying under glidecracks. In the north, where the mountains are high and also far east in the region, it can be easy to trigger fresh windslabs.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Monday 27. March 2023

Snøoverflaten er gjennfrosset etter mildværet forrige uke. Der solen får tak, mykes overflaten opp, men det generelle bildet er en hard og gjenfrosset overflate.

Det er observert kantkorn over skarelag som var lett å løse ut før flere runder med mildvær siste uke. Observasjoner søndag viser at disse avrundes i mildværet.

I helgen ble det observert løssnøskred og skavlbrudd.

Mountain weather

Monday 27. March 2023

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the north during the evening. -16 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 28. March 2023

10 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the afternoon. -18 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Vindøkning og nedbør fra sør vil i høyden fornye problemet med ferske nysnøflak, nå i nye himmelretninger.

Vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn kan ikke utelukkes i høyfjellet og lengst øst i regionen.

Unngå opphold under sigesprekker. Selvom det har blitt kaldere er det vanskelig å forutsi når glideskred løsner.
