Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 08.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Increasing temperatures and some rain increase the danger of wet-loose avalanches during the day. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some 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.

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

Stigende temperatur utover dagen øker sannsynligheten for skiløperutløste eller naturlig utløste skred der overflaten blir våt. Overskyet vær vi begrense solinnstrålingen, men regn på ettermiddagen kan føre til økt skredaktivitet i heng som tidligere ikke har vært påvirket av varme eller solinnstråling. Det kan gå enkelte middels store skred, men skred forventes stort sett å være små.

Der snødekket glir på glatt underlag kan glideskred løsne hele døgnet. Unngå områder under glidesprekker.
