Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Thursday 29.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Wind slabs in isolated areas are possible.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

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.

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

Skredfaren er knyttet til den nye snøen som er kommet og kommer nå. Det er relativt beskjedne mengder, og det ventes kun å danne seg små ustabile flak.

Skulle sola titte frem kan det gå små våte skred i bratte solhellinger.

De gamle vedvarende svake lagene ligger for det meste beskyttet av hard fokksnø og/eller skare. Det er lite sannsynlig å løse ut skred på disse lagene, men det kan ikke utelukkes helt.
