Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Wednesday 09.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Rising temperatures and solar radiation increase the risk to trigger small wet avalanches during daytime. Glide avalanches are possible. Keep distance from cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Tuesday 8. May 2018

Snødekket er fuktig til topps. Under skoggrensa er snøen stort sett våt og løs. Over skoggrensa er det hardere snø under våt løssnø. I høyden er det fortsatt islag nede i snødekket, men smeltevann drenerer stort sett gjennom.

Tidligere er det observasjoner av kantkorn nede i snødekket i N-vendt terreng. Det antas at de stort sett er brutt ned nå.

Ingen meldinger om skred siste 3 døgn.

Varmegrader i alle høydenivå de siste 3 dager.

Wednesday 9. May 2018

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from south. 2 °C to 10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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, selv om skredfaren vil øke med temperatur og solinnstråling utover dagen. I enkelte heng kan det være lett å løse ut små våte løssnøskred. Vær oppmerksom på muligheten for skavlbrudd og glideskred. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
