Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Monday 03.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but wind slabs can be present in isolated features.

Avalanche problems

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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Sunday 2. May 2021

Snøoverflaten er stort sett preget av hard skare og stedvis lommer med fokksnø. Utover dagen i bratt solvendt terreng blir snøoverflaten myk.

Det er observert kantkorn under hard fokksnø enkelte steder og ved bakken. De svake lagene er så vanskelig å påvirke at de ikke regnes som et skredproblem før det blir mye varmere.

Søndag formiddag er det klart og kaldt vær og det har vært nattefrost. Kantkorn er observert i overflata.

Mountain weather

Sunday 2. May 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -13 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 3. May 2021

1-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from west. -12 °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

Generelt stabile forhold.
Noen få cm nysnø vil ikke påvirke skredfaren.

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.
