Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 31.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

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)

Loose 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)

Monday 30. May 2022

Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa er omtrent på 600-700 moh., opp mot 1000 moh. i sørvendte hellinger.

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -2 °C to 9 °C at 1400 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

Det vil være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred i enkelte bratte heng. Dette er mest utpreget høyt til fjells der nedbør kom som snø i helgen.
Glideskred kan løsne der det er forhold for det, for eksempel der underlaget er svaberg. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
