Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 11.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
The danger increases when the wind picks up. Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 10. January 2022

Snødekket er svært variert med generelt lite snø i låglandet og i ytre del. Mest snø i indre og høgstliggande del av regionen. Det ligg snø heilt til havnivå, men er ingen såle før på ca. 500 moh. Over tregrensa er snøoverflata prega av vind og fokksnøflak av ulik hardleik. Toppar og ryggar er stadvis avblesene. I lune formasjonar og lesider finn ein dog framleis ubunden snø.

4. jan vart det observert nedføyket overflaterim i eit skjerma heng på 1400 moh. Utbreiinga er truleg begrensa.

Det var sundag observert eit naturleg utløyst flakskred i austsida på Tortnegrøegga i Stardalen. 80 cm høg og 80 meter brei brotkant.

Mountain weather

Monday 10. January 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to gale from the south during the evening. -16 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 11. January 2022

14 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Moderate gale from south, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during renoon. -8 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Sterk vind og stadvis mykje nedbør vil gje stor pålagring og byggje fokksnøflak i nordaustlege leheng.

Eldre flak kan verte svekka av temperaturstigninga og snødekket som får regn kan gi overgang mot våte skredformer utover ettermiddagen.
