Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Thursday 11.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. Use caution in areas with recently formed storm slabs. Its time to switch to spring mode and remember to use slightly different approaches on wet and dry snow.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

Loose snow

Persistent weak layer (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)

Wednesday 10. May 2023

Godt med snø i terrenget. Fortsatt veldig mildt høyt til fjells. Våt eller fuktig snø opp til mildværsgrensa. Tørrsnø på de aller høyeste toppene.

I fjellet ligger det stedvis kantkornlag rundt sol-skare høyt i snødekket. Før nedbøren tirsdag virket dette å ha stabilisert seg, men det er mulig å påvirke det enkelte steder i høgfjellet.

Det er observert en del våt-skred aktivitet og noen glideskred

Mountain weather

Wednesday 10. May 2023

4-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1800 m a.s.l Wednesday night. Strong breeze from southeast. 0 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 11. May 2023

4-8 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -3 °C to 5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Ingen nattefrost og dermed ingen gjenfrysing av snødekket. Fortsatt høye temperaturer og noe regn.

Det kan løses ut våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng.
Sydvendte sider har fått mye sol tidligere. Dermed ventes det noe mindre skredaktivitet i denne himmelretningen.

Kantkornlag i forbindelse med solskarelag høyt i snødekket i NØ og NV må tas med i vurderingene.

I de høyestliggende områdene kan det finnes ferske fokksnøflak.

Skavbrudd og glideskred kan forekomme.
