Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Monday 16.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, natural released avalanches are possible here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow

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)

Sunday 15. May 2022

Den siste uka har det kommet nysnø i fjellet med varierende snøgrense. Nysnen blir tørrere og mengden øker med høyden.

Snødekket under nysnøen er stort sett smelteomvandlet og homogent. Det er kun i nordhellinger langt til fjells at det er mulig å finne lagdelt "gammelsnø".

Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa er omtrent på 500 moh, høyere i sørvendte hellinger.

Mountain weather

Sunday 15. May 2022

4-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -4 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 16. May 2022

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from east. -9 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Etter en kald natt vil faregraden øke utover dagen i solvendte heng der overflata blir våt. Der det ligger nysnø fra de siste dagene kan våte skred løsne av seg selv.

Fokksnøflak ventes å ha stabilisert seg, men vær forsiktig i de høyeste fjellområdene.

Hold god avstand til alle skavler, de er større enn vanlig og kan lett knekke.

Glideskred er uforutsigbare og kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
