Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Wednesday 16.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. But remember that small avalanches can be dangerous in terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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

Delvis skya vêr gjer at soloppvarminga av snødekket vert mindre. Våte laussnøskred vil difor ikkje bli så store. Snødekket drenerar godt. Det kan framleis gå glideskred, men mindre snø i fjellet gjer at desse heller ikkje vil bli så store og dei fleste glideskreda som skal gå har allereie gått. Der det framleis er skavlar lyt ein vere merksam på fare for skavlbrekk.
