Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Tuesday 15. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt, hardt og preget av mye vind fra sørøst og varierende temperatur den siste uka. Under skoggrensen er det bare delvis snødekt. I fjellet er det mer sammenhengende skiføre, men rygger og vindutsatte områder er isete eller snøfrie.

Mandag blåste det svært kraftig i høyden.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 15. December 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from south. -5 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 16. December 2020

1-4 mm precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -5 °C to -1 °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

Tirsdagens nysnøflak ventes gradvis å stabilisere seg i gunstig temperatur og det ventes at det er færre steder der en skiløper kan påvirke snødekket.
Vær også klar over at det er observert svake lag av kantkorn i naboregioner. Om dette finnes her vil det gi en mer kompleks situasjon.
