Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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

Det er lite eller ingen snø i terrenget. Snøen finst kun på dei høgaste toppane og også der er det lite av den.

Det har blitt observert store rimkrystallar på bakken og snøoverflata.

Mountain weather

Monday 5. December 2022

9 mm precipitation, up to 16 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l Monday night. Breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -5 °C to -1 °C at 1100 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

Snøvêr og vind gjer at det vert danna fokksnøflak. Mest utsett er dei aller høgaste toppane som hadde litt snø frå før. Sidan nysnøen stort sett legg seg på barmark vil utbreiinga av skredproblem framleis vere liten og skredfaren vere låg i dei største delane av regionen.
