Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Saturday 28.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Rain will weaken the snowpack.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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.

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

Regn gjør at det vil bli opphopning av vann i snødekket. Det ventes enkelte naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred i bratte heng.

Glideskred kan løsne der det er forhold for det, for eksempel der underlaget er svaberg. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
