Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 26.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
A new front is expected to bring a lot of snow above tree line. Wind and temperature could quickly change. Naturally triggered avalanches can occure. Use great caution on larger slopes as avalanches easily could be triggered. The old wet snowpack is stable.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few 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)

Tuesday 25. January 2022

Lavlandet bærer preg av mildvær den siste tiden og det er lite snø under 500 moh.
I høyfjellet over ca. 1200 moh. består snøoverflaten av fokksnø med varierende hardhet, i vindutsatt terreng er det avblåst til bakken eller skare.

Det gamle snødekket antas stabilt etter flere runde med mildvær.

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

Fortsatt kraftig nedbør og vind opprettholder en betydelig skredfare. Mest utsatt er høyereliggende områder i indre del av regionen som får mest nedbør som snø. Her vil det være fare for naturlig utløste skred i skredbaner som ligger utsatt til for pålagringen. Det vil også være lett å løse ut store skred i noen heng.

Vær oppmerksom på at nysnøgrense og vind vil variere mye gjennom dagen, og gjøre at forholdene raskt kan endre seg.

I lavere områder vil regn i snøen kunne gi noen våte skred i bratte, utsatte heng.
