Avalanche warning for region Heiane Friday 19.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in steep terrain. Sun-exposed mountainsides are most exposed, especially during the afternoon.

Avalanche problems

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)

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)

Thursday 18. May 2023

Mildvær og regn har gjort snøoverflaten våt i alle himmelretninger høyt til fjells. Snødekket er generelt smelteomvandlet uten kritisk lagdeling.
Det er begrenset skiføre under 600 moh, men det er fremdeles mye snø i høyden og i indre deler av regionen.
Bekker begynner å gå åpne og det er mange steder overvann på islagte vann.

Noen glidesprekker observert i Sirdal på lørdag.

Friday 19. May 2023

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

Skredfaren er knyttet til våt og myk snø i bratte heng. Skyet vær og igjen stigende temperaturer kan gi fravær av nattefrost og et våtere snødekke gjennom hele døgnet. Dersom solen titter frem kan sannsynligheten for å løse ut skred øke, spesielt på ettermiddagen.
