Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Friday 26.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs. Be careful where the new snow becomes wet and soft.

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

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Loose 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)

Thursday 25. May 2023

Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høgast i sørvendte hellinger og lengst ut mot kysten. Stadvis er det samanhengande snø frå 600-700 moh. Det er hovudsakleg fuktig eller våt, grovkorna smelteomvandla snø. Kaldare vêr kan føra til at snøoverflata frys til skare nokre plassar. I høgda ligg det nysnø.

Eldre svake lag i snødekket har i hovedsak smelta, men det kan vere enkelte islag i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Thursday 25. May 2023

25 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from west. -4 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 26. May 2023

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1200 m a.s.l during the evening. Fresh breeze from west. -4 °C to 3 °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 kjem meir nysnø i kombinasjon med vind i høgda. Her vil det vere lett å løysa ut skred i fokksnøen. Skreda vil stort sett bli små, men nokre middels store skred kan ikkje utelukkast. Der sola tar tak, og nysnøen blir våt og mjuk, kan enkelte laussnøskred gå av seg sjølv.

Der det framleis er igjen skavlar, kan det vere fare for skavlbrot. Enkelte glideskred kan førekoma der det ligg att snø på bratte svaberg.

Under nysnøgrensa er snøen smelteomvandla og stort sett stabil.
