Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Thursday 19.01.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

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)

Wednesday 18. January 2023

Det kom rundt 20 cm nysnø i regionen i begynnelsen av uken. Vinden har flyttet snøen inn i leheng og dannet flak av varierende hardhet. Snødekket under den nye snøen er preget av vind og mildvær. Rygger er avblåst, og stein og lyng har blåst frem noen steder.

Det finnes et kantkornlag ved bakken fra ca. 1000 moh. og oppover. Vest i regionen regnes dette ikke som et skredproblem, men det er trolig mer problematisk i indre deler av regionen. Det har ikke vært observert skred eller faretegn relatert til dette laget i det siste.
I naboregioner finnes det kantkorn rundt skarelag eller nedføyket under den siste nysnøen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 18. January 2023

3-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from east. -13 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 19. January 2023

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -12 °C to -4 °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 er fortsatt mulig å løse ut skred i fokksnøen. Der det har samlet seg mest snø kan skredene bli middels store. Rolige værforhold gjør at fokksnøflakene gradvis vil stabilisere seg.
