Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Monday 05.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
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)

Buried weak layer of new 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 4. December 2022

Snøoverflaten består av mye løs snø som hovedsakelig har kommet siden lørdag i forrige uke. Under denne snøen er det ingen såle, bortsett fra høyt til fjells.
I skogen ligger snøen jevnt fordelt. Fra skoggrensa og oppover har vinden gjort at snøen er mer ujevnt fordelt. Det er mest snø og mulig skiføre i vest- og nordvendt terreng.
Det er mest snø i midtre deler av regionen, over 900 moh.

Dannelse av overflaterim er observert flere steder.
Det er mye løs snø tilgjengelig for transport.

Mountain weather

Sunday 4. December 2022

Monday 5. December 2022

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

Over skoggrensa kan det finnes lommer med vindpåvirket snø hvor det kan være mulig å løse ut skred.
