Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 27.03.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid staying under glidecracks. In the north, where the mountains are high and also far east in the region, it can be easy to trigger fresh windslabs.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Glide avalanches

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Sunday 26. March 2023

Våt snøoverflate etter mye regn siste tiden. Det er tydelige smelteriller opp til 900moh. Helt nord i regionen der fjelltoppene er høyest ligger det tørr snø og flakdannelser av ulik hardhet og tykkelse.

Det er observert kantkorn over skarelag som var lett å løse ut før flere runder med mildvær siste uke. Observasjoner søndag viser at disse avrundes i mildværet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 26. March 2023

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l Sunday night. Breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 27. March 2023

1-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the north during the evening. -16 °C to -3 °C at 1100 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

Vindøkning vil gi ferske flakdannelser. Her kan det være lett å løse ut skred. Mest utsatt er heng mot sør og tilhørende retninger.

Vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn kan ikke utelukkes i høyfjellet og lengst øst i regionen.

Varme og mye regn har mange steder gitt et vått snødekke og sig i snøen der denne ligger mot glatt underlag. Unngå opphold under sigesprekker.

Lav temperatur virker generelt stabiliserende på den våte snøen. Om sola får tak kan det likevel gi myk snøoverflate og fare for våte skred.
