Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Wednesday 01.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable avalanche conditions, but the danger for small wet avalanches increases as the temperature rises. Its time to switch to spring mode and remember to use slightly different approaches on wet and dry snow.

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)

Loose snow

Glide avalanches

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

Wet snow/melting near the ground

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Tuesday 30. April 2019

Etter ein lang periode med varme og smelting er snødekket for det meste smelteomvandla og stabilt. Snøoverflata og skiføret vil variere med vêret og temperaturen gjennom døgnet. Lengst NØ i regionen over 1000 moh finst det framleis områder med tørr og kald snø nede i snødekket der det er tjukt.
Med unntak av Indre Nordfjord og dalstrøk mot breane i indre strok er det no lite snø under 1000 moh.

Svake lag kantkorn er antatt nøytralisert av varme og smelting.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 30. April 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from east. 0 °C to 11 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 1. May 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -2 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Nedbør og vind vil legge opp mindre fokksnøflak i hovedsakleg søraustlege leområder over 1300 moh. Under denne høgda vil nedbøren kome som regn på snødekket og ein kan forvente mindre våte laussnøskred i alle himmelretningar.

Det er fare for glideskred der snøen ligg på bratt og glatt underlag, hold avstand til fjellsider med glidesprekkar.

Hald avstand til skavlar på ryggar, eggar og toppar.
