Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Tuesday 03.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, small skier triggered wet avalanches possible in steep sun-exposed faces.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Loose 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.

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

Små endringer i situasjonen. Skredforholdene er generelt stabile med et snødekke som i hovedsak er hardt og smelteomvandlet. I bratte heng der snøen blir mjuk utpå dagen kan det være mulig å løse ut våte løssnøskred. Vær oppmerksom på utglidningsfare på hardt snødekke.
