Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 24.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

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 23. May 2022

Store deler av snødekket er smelteomvandlet og homogent. Men søndag vert det meldt om mykje vatn i snøen under 1300 moh.
Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa er omtrent på 500 moh, høyere i sørvendte hellinger.

I høgtliggande breområder både i Nordfjord og Sogn har det vore observert drønn i snøen dei siste dagane. Observasjon i Sogn tilseier at det er laus smelteomvandla snø som kollapsar.

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

Mildvær og regn gjør at snøoverflata vil være myk og løs. I bratt terreng er det lett å løse ut løssnøskred. Naturlig utløste løssnø- og flakskred forventes. Små og middels store skred er mest aktuelt, men glideskred kan bli store. Glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glideskrekker. De fleste glideskred i sørvendt terreng har allerede gått, og det er mest fare for dette i nord- og østvendte fjellsider.
