Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 28.04.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
At higher elevations, be aware in steep areas with with slabs. The danger also increases during the day in steep and sunexposed terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Tuesday 27. April 2021

Det ligg finkorna snø av ulik hardheit over regionen etter jamnt snøfall og vind forrige veke. I leområder ligg det delvis mykje. Eldre snødekke er i hovudsak smelteomdanna eller påvirka av varme i solsidene. I skyggevendte områder over skoggrensa består det eldre snødekket av finkorna vintersnø. Det er tilnærma normale snømengder for årstida. Solvendte områder i låglandet er i ferd med å bli bart.

Svake lag i det eldre snødekket er tilstades, men dei er vurdert ikkje aktive inntil det blir varmare vêr.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 27. April 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -15 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 28. April 2021

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northeast. -17 °C to -1 °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

Roleg vêr med vekselvis varme dagar og kalde netter gjev synkande skredfare i fokksnø. Solvarmen kan gje våte laussnøskred i bratte solsider.

Eldre svake lag djupt i snødekket kan neppe bli påvirka av skiløpar, og dei vil truleg ikkje bli aktive før vêret blir varmare.
