Avalanche warning for region Heiane Sunday 30.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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)

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.

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

Der snøoverflata er mjuk og laus kan ein løyse ut mindre våte laussnøskred.

Ver merksam på sprekkar i snødekket som viser at det kan gå glideskred.
