Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Thursday 27.05.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Natural released wet avalanches might occur at higher altitudes due to high water content in the snow. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

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 26. May 2021

Snødekket er stort sett smelteomvandla. Men det kan vere unntak Snøgrensa ligg rundt 800 moh i nordvendt terreng, høgare i sørvendt terreng. Grensa for lagdelt snø ligg på ca. 1300 moh.

Det kan framleis ligge vedvarende svake lag djupt det gamle snødekket i høgfjellet, men forventa utbreiing av dette er begrensa.

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

Snødekket vil opplevast som stort sett stabilt, men i nordvendte områder i høgfjellet kan det framleis ligge vedvarande svake lag i snødekket som kan gje store skred.

Viss snøoverflata vert våt og mjuk kan det løysne våte laussnø skred.

Ver merksam på mogelegheit for glideskred og skavlbrot.
