Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Saturday 24.02.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with wind deposited snow. Naturally released loose avalanches can occur in steep sun exposed faces.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

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)

Friday 23. February 2024

Fredag kom det mye nedbør, særlig sør og vest i regionen. Som regn i lavereliggende områder. Over mildværsgrensen, i høyden, har kraftig vind flyttet snøen over i le-områder. Forrige helg har det dannet seg en delvis bærende skare på snøoverflaten helt til topps i store deler av regionen. Under skarelaget ligger det stedvis mye løssnø.

Flere naturlig utløste skred i vestvendt terreng ved Bjørnevann.
Det er også observert skredaktivitet midt i regionen, øst av Møsvatn.

Mountain weather

Friday 23. February 2024

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

En enkelt skiløper kan løse ut skred i fersk vindtransportert snø.

I høyden vil snøen trenge mer tid til å stabilisere seg. Vær varsom i bratt terreng der vinden har dannet flak av fredagens snø.

Dersom sola kommer frem er det fare for løssnøskred i bratte solsider.
