Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Monday 27.03.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches 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

Under skoggrensen og i skjermede formasjoner er det generelt løs ubunden snø og fint skiføre. Over skoggrensen er det stort sett hard fokksnø eller skare, noen steder med litt nysnø på toppen.

2-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from southeast. -17 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 27. March 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -24 °C to -11 °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

Generelt er det hard bærende snø i fjellet og liten skredfare. Som skikjører vil man ønske å oppsøke steder med mykere snø, men husk at det er akkurat de områdene som kan ha myke fokksnøflak det kan være mulig å løse ut skred i.
