Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Tuesday 22.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. A persistent weak layer can be present underneath fresh wind deposited snow in isolated features.

Avalanche problems

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).

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 21. March 2022

I lavlandet og der sola har varmet er det skare / smelteomvandla snø til ca. 800 moh. Over skoggrensa finner du nyere fokksnø med varierende hardhet, eller hard gammel snø. I skjermet terreng kan det finnes områder med løsere snø.

Observasjoner har vist at det stedvis finnes noe kantkorn under fokksnøflak, spesielt i nordvendte heng. Det har imidlertid ikke vært observert nok ugunstige egenskaper tilknyttet dette til at det regnes som et aktivt skredproblem.

Observatør meldte fredag om 25 cm nysnø.

Mountain weather

Monday 21. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -14 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Tuesday 22. March 2022

3-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southeast. -10 °C to -2 °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

Vær obs på at fokksnøflak kan ha lagt seg over overflatekantkorn eller rim i enkelte heng, som hindrer stabilisering.

Glideskred er uforutsigbare. Unngå områder under glidesprekker.
