Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Monday 20.12.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with wind slabs. A persistent weak layer of facets may be triggered, especially where the snow cover is thin.

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)

Sunday 19. December 2021

Over ca. 1200 moh ligger det fokksnø av variert hardhet som ble dannet i slutten av forrige uke. Etter mildvær og snøsmelting oppp til ca. 1200 moh i forrige uke har det nå frosset til og blitt dannet en hard og glatt overflate opp til dette høydenivået.

I forrige uke ble det observert vedvarende svakt med nedsnødd kantkorn rundt skarelag nede i snødekket som ble dannet under kuldeperioden i november. Dette kan fortsatt finnes i de høyestliggende områdene (over 1200 moh). Under 1200 moh har mildværet i forrige uke nøytralisert disse lagene.

Mountain weather

Sunday 19. December 2021

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from north. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 20. December 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -15 °C to -5 °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 kan fortsatt finnes noen ustabile fokksnøflak på de høyeste toppene, men disse vil gradvis stabiliseres og bli vanskeligere å påvirke. Det finnes svake lag av kantkorn nedover i snøpakka i de høyestliggende områdene(over 1200 moh). Under ca. 1200 moh er det stort sett stabile forhold og en homogen snøpakke.
