Avalanche warning for region Heiane Wednesday 17.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but it might be easy to trigger wet avalanches in sun-exposed terrain. Keep distance to cornices and glidetracks. Glide avalanches are difficult to predict.

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Tuesday 16. April 2024

Over ca 1000 moh kom det i helgen 20-30 cm ny snø som er ujevnt fordelt i terrenget av vind. Gunstige temperaturer har ført til at denne snøen har fått stabilisere seg.

Det gamle snødekket er generelt stabilt og i stor grad smelteomvandlet.

Det har smeltet mye snø og rabber og knauser er bare, også i høyden. Det er snøfritt i lavlandet.


Mountain weather

Tuesday 16. April 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -7 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 17. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northwest. -11 °C to 4 °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

Sol og stigende dag temperaturer kan gjøre det lett å løse ut små skred i bratte, solvendte, lune heng. Bratte heng med nysnø er mest utsatt.

Om morgenen vil snøoverflaten være hardt og gjennfrosset der det har vært nattefrost.

Vær oppmerksom på faren for skavlbrudd og glideskred. Hold avstand til skavler og unngå opphold under sigesprekker.
