Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Thursday 22.04.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

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).

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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)

Wednesday 21. April 2021

Snøoverflata har variert mye gjennom de siste dagene. Kalde og klare netter har danna skare tidlig på dagen med soloppvarming og våt snø høyt til fjells på ettermiddagen. I skyggesider finnes fortsatt tørr lagdelt vintersnø.

Det er observert kantkorn mellom gammelt snødekke og snøen som kom etter påske. Det er observert få skred i disse lagene i det varme været.

Det gikk søndag minst to glideskred i Grasdalen. Naturlig utløst, str. 3.

I Hornindal kom det 15 cm nysnø onsdag formiddag.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 21. April 2021

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the north during renoon. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 22. April 2021

3 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from northwest. -10 °C to -2 °C at 1400 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

Det fortsetter med noen snøbyger fra nordvest. Flest byger i Nordfjord. Der vinden er sterk nok til å flytte nysnøen kan det dannes ustabile flak. Her kan skred løses ut av en skiløper.

Vedvarende svake lag dypere i snødekket har begrenset utbredelse, men skred kan fortsatt ikke utelukkes.
