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 2. December 2020

Måndag kom det eit lite dryss med nysnø. Før det var det stort sett skare på snøoverflata. Det er generelt lite snø i terrenget. Ein lyt over 1200 moh for å finne større område med samanhengande snø, og då kun i aust- og nordaustvendte leheng.

Det er observert rimdanning på overflata. Onsdag formiddag vert det målt laber bris frå sør på toppen av Hemsedal skisenter (1344 moh).

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 vert danna ferske fokksnøflak i leheng på grunn av nysnø og vind. Skredproblemet vil i hovudsak vere gjeldande i dei områda som hadde snø på bakken før siste snøfall.
