Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Friday 05.04.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Small loose wet avalanches associated with rising temperatures and solar heating can occur. Risk of wind-deposited snow above 1400 masl.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 4. April 2019

I vindutsatt og vestvendt terreng det lite snø og avblåst ned til gammel skare. I østvendt terreng ligger det godt med snø, og i skjerma formasjoner tørr myk snø som gir bedre skiføre. Den gamle snøpakken er prega av mildvær, nedbør og hard vind. I lavlandet er varmen i ferd med å omdanne snøen til grovkorna og snømengden generelt har minket en god del siste uke.

Det er observasjoner på tykke kantkornlag under tykke, bærende skarelag.

Mountain weather

Thursday 4. April 2019

Friday 5. April 2019

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -4 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Temperaturstigning og soloppvarming kan utpå dagen føre til små naturlig utløste våte skred i noen få heng, særlig i solutsatt bratt terreng med bart fjell eller vegetasjon dersom sola stikker gjennom.

Det skal i hovedsak mye til for å løse ut skred i fokksnø i østvendt terreng, begrenset til få heng vest i regionen.
